Ocean Rowing
Our 2009 Boat Race Dinner speaker was Roz Savage. A four-times Guineess World Record holder, she was the first woman to row solo across 3 oceans - the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian - to raise awareness for our environmental crisis. Roz writes a blog and authored "Rowing the Atlantic" about her first trans-oceanic expedition.
Sarah Outen is another Oxonian - the first woman to row the Indian Ocean. She is kayaking, biking and rowing in an attempt to be the first person to go round the world under their own power.
New Ocean Wave, founded by Chris Martin, was built on the desire to help people row across oceans. In 2009, Chris Martin and Mike Dawson rowed from Japan to San Francisco. They arrived at the Golden Gate Yacht Club in their boat Bojangles on Friday 13th November 2009.
