Ocean rowing information


Samuelsen and Harbo, the first ocean rowers.

Ocean rowing is the sport of rowing across oceans. Some ocean rowing boats can hold as many as fourteen rowers;[1] however, the most common ocean rowboats are designed for singles, doubles, and fours.[2]

The history of ocean rowing is divided into two eras by the Ocean Rowing Society International, the official adjudicator of ocean rowing records for Guinness World Records. The first fourteen ocean rows, up to and including 1981, are considered historic ocean rows as they were completed with very limited, if any, modern technology. All subsequent rows are described as modern-day rows.[3]
