Peel's Viking Longboat Races are back for another year.
The annual tournament will see 66 teams racing around the harbour from 11am today (July 18).
Running since 1963, the gruelling race sees a prize of £500 for the winners, £250 for second place and £150 for third.
Sam Waugh from Standard Bank's men's team says the prize money has their name on it:
