The 12th December marks the start of HMS Oardacious’ next challenge with its 4th Atlantic crossing manned by its all-women crew, all of which are serving military personnel.  This challenge is hoping to set history being the first and fastest all-women team to row an ocean.  Challenges they are likely to face are not only the 20ft waves but also the 2hr on/off rota throughout every 24hrs with over 5000 calories being burnt by each crew member during that 24hr period too.

The journey for some 40 Teams participating will start from San Sebastian, La Gomera in the Canary Island and finish in Nelsons Dock, Antigua some 3000 miles later.

We hope to follow this challenge closely and the achievements of these amazing women.
