    The very motley crew of yacht \"Caol ila\", just love - offshore racing, mountain running, traditional music and whisky tasting, paddling and rowing. UNSPONSORED or even UNSPONSORABLE and self sufficient, more about friendship and the dynamics of team spirit, fund raisers for good causes so we would rather be SPONSORED so please sponsor us at http://www.justgiving.com/caolila
    finishers and completers, slowly becoming kit-monsters and technology dependent, heart monitors, ipods and altimetres essential, using any advantage legitimately gained by the use of science.
