TEAM OUT OF THE BLUE

TU Delft students taking on “The World's Toughest Row” for Healthier Oceans & Mental Resilience
We are a team of students who will row 4800 km across the Atlantic Ocean in December 2023. Our goal is to cross the Atlantic in under 35 days; completely unsupported; non-stop, from the Canary Islands to Antigua. Our reason for doing this is to mobilise marine conservation efforts for healthier oceans and promoting mental resilience, by utilising the World's Toughest Row Challenge platform.
