Fastest four-man Atlantic row

What to remember

The Four Oarsmen rowed across the Atlantic in 29 days and 15 hours in 2018, the fastest time for a crew of four. They took the Trade Winds I route in the open-class category.

Fours are among the most common setups in ocean rowing, along with singles and doubles, even though some boats can hold much larger crews.

The Ocean Rowing Society International, the reference body for the sport, counts every row after 1981 as part of the modern era; the earlier crossings were made with very limited modern technology, if any. The 2018 crossing belongs to that modern era.
