The independent ocean rowing atlas
Explore the people, boats and passages that shaped ocean rowing. Follow an expedition or compare decades of history in one connected atlas.
A world of journeys, still unfolding.
Legacy data counts. Not certified records or verified unique rowers.
A starting point, not a limitation. Every selection opens the same connected historical catalogue.
These entry points use inherited catalogue labels. Crossing qualification and geographic boundaries are assessed separately.
Share your planned route, crew, tracker, boat specifications and photographs. Your submission goes directly to the private ORStats research inbox for checking before anything is published.
Filter expeditions, compare crews and switch freely between timelines, tables and statistics. The information changes with your selections.
Discover the people behind the departures, the boats that carried them, and the attempts that never fit neatly into a leaderboard. History is richer than its fastest time.

See the original evidence when you need it. Our archive preserves candidate links, conflicting histories and incomplete records, rather than turning uncertainty into false certainty.
Same names are not automatically merged into one person.
Ocean presence, qualifying crossings and record criteria remain separate.
We won't infer birthdays, distances or unsupported firsts from appearances.
