Paul Tucker (UK) pedalled across the English Channel from a point near Cap Gris-Nez, France, to Folkestone, Kent, UK, in 7 hr 6 min on 21 May 2002. His 3.7 m (12 ft) boat Escapade was powered by a propeller turned by pedals.

The record attempt was in aid of the Royal British Legion. The crossing above was the return leg of a double crossing (he also holds the record for fastest double crossing).
