Atlantic Rowing Race - The Route! |
The Atlantic Rowing Race starts from Los Gigantes in Tenerife on October 12th, 1997 and finishes in Bridgetown,Barbados approximately 2900 miles away. The trip is expected to take 70 to 90 days.
The course will provide the best conditions possible:
it takes advantage of the predominantly South Westerly flowing currents from the Canaries to South America.
it exploits the surface current created by the prevailing wind.
the timing of the race avoids the hurricane season in the Caribbean.
