What to remember
La Gomera at one end, Antigua at the other. Between them, the all-female crew of Kung Fu Cha Cha rowed the Atlantic in 34 d 13 h 13 min, arriving on 18 January 2018.
The previous record for a female crew of four stood at 40 days, 8 hours, 26 minutes, set by a British team. The new crew shattered it.
Fours are one of the most common formats in ocean rowing, alongside singles and doubles, though some boats carry as many as fourteen rowers. The Ocean Rowing Society International, which adjudicates the sport's records, counts this kind of crossing among the modern-day rows, those made after 1981.
