The Atlantic Challenge: Congratulations to Rob Bryne and the crew of the Sara G. Rob Bryne and crew broke to world records after setting of from the west coast of Africa on the 5th January and becoming the fastest crew to cross the Atlantic.
On 8th February 2011 at 11.16 GMT Ocean rowing boat 'Sara G' Skippered by English man Matt Craughwell pulled into Port St. Charles, Barbados and into the record books. Craughwell and his crew of 5 oarsmen, Fiann Paul (Iceland), Tomas Cremona (Malta), Adam Burke (Ireland), Rob Byrne (Ireland) and Dr Graham Carlin (England), set off from the fishing port of Tarfaya, Morocco on the West African coast on the 5th January on a mission to become the fastest crew ever to row across the Atlantic Ocean. Not only have they achieved this goal by taking 10 hours and 36 minutes off the old record set by Team Hallin, they have also set a new record for rowing more consecutive days over 100 miles than any other boat in history
