About the row

Each team will row in excess of 1,5 million oar strokes during a crossing.

Rowers will row for 2 hours, and sleep for 2 hours, constantly, 24 hours a day.

In an average year, more people summit Mt Everest than have EVER rowed an ocean.

Participants in the race have raised over € 16 million for charities worldwide over the last six races.

The waves that the rowers experience can measure up to 20ft high. 

Each rower aims to consume 10 litres of water per day.

There is no toilet on board - rowers use a bucket! 

The average rower loses around 8 kg during a crossing.
