Our journey began when Hebe was sailing to Africa in 2022, she saw the World's Toughest Row rowers out on the ocean, heard them on the VHF and was inspired by their passion for sport. As sailors we have always wanted to sail across the Atlantic Ocean, but seeing this determination from other athletes inspired us to row it. The seed of the idea was planted, and swiftly, we delved into researching every aspect. Before long we had officially entered the World’s Toughest Row 2026.

Hebe and Amy were brought together by their shared love of sailing, and so the idea of having an all Women’s team and raising money for Women in Sport and CoppaFeel!, went hand in hand perfectly. After interviewing over 35 incredible women, Amy and Hebe have been joined by one of their final team members, Ruby Scholten, who has the right mindset and ambition for the journey ahead.

As the team look ahead with nearly just one year to go, the support we have had so far is heart warming, and we invite you to continue to follow along and support us through the highs and lows, as we continue to progress through the thousands of hours of hard work with everything from administration tasks, rigorous training sessions on the water and in the gym, as well as the fundraising events, details of which continue to be updated.
