MARK’S mission

Breaking the world record of the toughest row 2024:

29 days, 14 hours & 34 minutes
(The Four Oarsmen, GB)

Mark’s mission is to build a long-term sustainable team, create ambitious plans that seem impossible and make the impossible possible. The first objective, breaking the 4-person and overall world record on the Atlantic Ocean during The World’s Toughest Row. This is only possible with a close-knit team where everyone knows each other inside and out, which is why a lot of time is spent creating brotherhood. We do this by training, eating, traveling and much more together. Life is short and with Mark’s team we want to leave a mark on this planet. Sailing a world record next year is just the first goal, after which many more goals will follow.
