Leven Brown

Leven rowed the Atlantic E-W in the 2005/6 season in his boat ‘Atlantic Wholff’ and is responsible for putting this new Expedition together. He was the first rower to conquer the notorious Bay of Cadiz and holds a Guinness World Record for being the First from Mainland Spain to the West Indies.

In 2007/8 Leven skippered the 14 strong British and Irish team to a historic victory against a smaller faster American challenger and set a new world record for the fastest row ever recorded across any ocean. The Previous record stood for 16 years and over 60 attempts were made to break it. With La Mondiale he also holds world records for the longest distance rowed in 24h and the most consecutive days over 100 miles.
