Fastest Atlantic row by a female crew of three

What to remember

Setting off from the Canaries on 12 December 2021, Kat Cordiner, Charlotte Irving and Abby Johnston reached Antigua on 23 January 2022. Their time, 42 d 7 h 17 min, is the fastest Atlantic row by a female crew of three.

The English trio rowed Dolly Parton, a Rannoch R45. The time covers the whole Canaries to Antigua course, start to finish.

The most common ocean rowboats are designed for singles, doubles and fours, so a crew of three falls outside the usual formats. The Ocean Rowing Society International, which adjudicates the sport's records, places this crossing among the modern-day rows, those made after 1981.
