| Whilst the record for the four man crossing, from East to West, is 36 days, it is not uncommon for crews to take up to 80 days, and indeed all boats have to take provisions for a potential 90 days at sea. Once crews have left La Gomera in the Canary Islands, they must cross the 2500 nautical miles to English Harbour in Antigua completely unaided. The oldest four Man crew to complete this challenge had a combined age of 179 years. At the commencement of the race in 2011, the Corinthian crew will have a combined age of 231 years, whilst their oldest rower will become the oldest person to have ever rowed the Atlantic.
