New York to Isles of Scilly Rowing Record Broken

A 114 year old record for crossing the atlantic has been broken by a Scottish based team - beating the previous record by 11 days and shattering the Cornish based attempt two years ago which ended in disaster 400 miles off Lands End when their boat capsized.

The team battled some intense weather; rolling through storms and other dangerous situations to beat the record. The boat however stayed firm, reportedly giving the rowers no trouble and enabling them to put their hours of training and experience to use.

The team have already beaten the record for rowing the South Atlantic.

Radio Scilly has more from their YouTube channel on the official declaration of the record.
