3 Scottish Brothers Set World's Record, Row 3000miles Across Atlantic In 35days by Explorers(m): 7:18pm On Jan 18, 2020 |
Three Scottish brothers have set an astonishing world record after rowing a whopping 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean in a record-setting 35 days, nine hours, and nine minutes. The MacLean siblings, from Edinburgh, yesterday completed the epic journey from La Gomera in the Canary Islands to Nelson's Harbour in Antigua in the Caribbean. Brothers Ewan, 27, Jamie, 26, and Lachlan, 21, embarked upon the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge, the 'world's toughest row', on December 12. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7897349/amp/Scottish-brothers-beat-Atlantic-rowing-record.html 1 Like 1 Share

The MacLeans rowed across shark-infested waters, up to 40ft waves, heavy storms, and busy shipping lanes, completing 1.5m strokes by rowing for two hours and resting for one.

Lachlan (left), Ewan (middle), and Jamie (right) are here photographed trying out their 28ft, £50,000boat on Loch Lomond for the first time before embarking upon the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge. Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge: 'The World's Toughest Row' Known as the 'world's toughest row', the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge is one of the most demanding endurance events on the planet. The courageous souls who dare brave the challenge are put to their physical and mental limits, as they complete 1.5million stokes in blistering temperatures across shark-infested waters and busy shipping lanes. According to the MacLeans, more people have been into space or climbed Mount Everest than have rowed across the Atlantic. 2 Likes
