Royal Navy Atlantic Rowers Conquers 2023 World’s Toughest Row
Yesterday, the five-man team of HMS Oardacious emerged victorious by crossing the finish line in the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge, making history in the process.
The team, consisting of Matt Main, Dan Seager, Ian Allen, Mike Forrester, and Rob Clarke, all of whom are Royal Navy submariners, completed the grueling 3,000-mile race after spending 35 days, four hours, and 30 minutes out at sea.
The starting point was La Gomera in the Canary Islands, and the team had to navigate through numerous challenges to emerge triumphant and enter the Antigua Naval Dockyard at precisely 8:45 am on Wednesday.
