HMS Oardacious

In December 2019, four Royal Navy submariners rowed unsupported across the Atlantic Ocean departing from the Canary Islands to reach Nelson's Dockyard Antigua 37 days 6 hours 40 minutes later. Fundraising over £120,000 for Mental Health initiatives. HMS Oardacious has grown from a concept into a successful campaign that has reached millions around the world. Our first ocean crossing was the start of a legacy that will see Submariners champion resilience through adversity, support charities, inspire the public and collaborate with fantastic organisations. To build from our success in the 2019 Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge, we are proud to announce that we are ready to go again with sights on a 2022 Atlantic crossing, and a commitment to grow the HMS Oardacious legacy into 2023 and beyond.
