361: Record Breaking Atlantic Ocean Rower - Zara Lachlan

World Records Atlantic Ocean rowing solo unsupported non-stop charity Team Forces Women in Sport

Zara Lachlan set three World Records rowing solo, unsupported and non-stop from mainland Europe to mainland South America from October 2024 to February 2025. 


Lachlan at only 21 years old, was the first female ever and youngest person to complete this route, and the youngest female to row from any mainland to mainland. On this 97-day expedition Zara faced stormy weather leading to a capsize, a large bite from a suspected barracuda, and regular hallucinations from extreme exhaustion.


This crossing pushed her physically as she rowed 16-21 hours a day but found the mental struggle from being in pure isolation during testing conditions for the first forty days, where the weather was against her for thirty-five of them, a significantly larger challenge.


Throughout the process Zara was raising money for two charities important to her, Team Forces and Women in Sport.
