A team, dubbed the “Relentless Rowers,” had hoped to break the world mark by completing the voyages from the Canary Island of La Gomera to the Caribbean island of Antigua in under 35 days. And this they did with a couple of days to spare while also claiming solely for themselves the Irish record for a transatlantic row.

The team, comprising of junior doctors Seán Underwood and Patrick O’Connor, Cork-based podiatrist Eoin O’Farrell, and young Dublin entrepreneur Thomas Browne, were the first all-Irish four-man crew to complete the challenge. The Relentless Rowers have now raised close to 24,000 euros for Cork University Hospital and Pieta House.
