Despite this, the first few days are always tricky. Crews battled wind and currents <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">that pinned<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> them to the coastline.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The leading boat is the <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">four-man<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Swiss Raw. They<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0have<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> covered 1,550km and pulled away from the other crews. Swiss Raw won the 2022 Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge (as it was then named), coming in a full day before any other boat. Ocean5, Oar the Rainbow, and RangeOars Row are much closer together, having covered 1,055km, 1,011km, <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">and<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> 900km, respectively.<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Ten days into the row, the teams are coping well, despite some problems. The crew of Oar The Rainbow is suffering from knee and shoulder pains, but is pushing through. RangeOars Row <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">is<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> having power issues; it has been cloudy, which is affecting their batteries. Swiss Raw had broken seat bearings. Ocean5 has battled severe seasickness, which finally seems to be abating.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Around the world<\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><strong>Louis Margot (CH)<\/strong> &#8211; Swiss adventurer Louis Margot restarted his Human Impulse project on June 1. Margot is rowing across the Pacific Ocean as part of a human-powered, round-the-world expedition. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">On Sept. 3, 2023, he started cycling a 2,500km route from Switzerland to Portugal. From there, he rowed for 115 days to Colombia, then jumped back on his bike and cycled 4,030km to Peru in 62 days. There, he took a two-month break.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">On November 12, Margot began rowing from Peru to Indonesia, with a planned pitstop in the Marquesas Islands to restock and make repairs. He landed on Hiva Oa (the second largest of the Marquesas Islands) on March 9. Margot later said that the row from Peru had been the most exhausting stage of his expedition<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\"  data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DKry2SxN8ii\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

This trapped them in their cabins in the sweltering heat. In case of a capsize, their hatches were closed, making the heat even worse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><strong>Untamed (BG, NL, CN, UA)<\/strong> &#8211; A second independent foursome is attempting to row from Australia to mainland Africa. Evgeny Sudyr, Liu Yong, Ralph Tuijn, and Stefan Ivanov are rowing 9,000km from the west coast of Australia to Kenya.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">They were aiming to finish in 75 days, but this seems unlikely. After 30 days, they have covered 3,120km. They are maintaining a good pace, but the Indian Ocean is notoriously tricky, even with their experienced team. Tujin has made 12 ocean crossings, Ivanov has made successful crossings of the Atlantic, Southern, and part of the Arctic Ocean, and Yong has rowed the Atlantic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_105863\" style=\"width: 606px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-105863\" class=\"wp-image-105863 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/explorersweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Captureerty-e1750109486441.jpg\" alt=\"The Untamed team. \" width=\"596\" height=\"600\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-105863\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Untamed team.

First, their watermaker broke, though Sudyr and Ivanov fixed this after a few hours playing around with a tangle of cables. Then, just days later, they ran out of power. Every system went down, and steering and navigation became manual tasks. The power cut began at night, and fortunately, the problem rectified itself once the sun returned.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">One day later, Yong broke out in a full-body rash. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">They have not disclosed what caused this or how it was rectified, but did say Yong stopped rowing until their medical team <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">said he could continue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Their run of bad luck did not end there. The very next day, <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">their rudder broke at 4 am<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. After drifting along until daylight, they were able to fit their spare rudder.<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Around Britain<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><strong>52 Degrees North (IE\/UK)<\/strong> &#8211; The three-man crew of David Irving (IE), Rod Tredgett (UK), and Scott Brown (UK) is rowing 2,700km around Great Britain.
