361: Record Breaking Atlantic Ocean Rower – Zara Lachlan

At just 21 years old, Zara Lachlan made history—three times over. From October 2024 to February 2025, she became the first woman ever and the youngest person to row solo, unsupported, and non-stop from mainland Europe to mainland South America. Battling relentless storms, isolation, and even a suspected barracuda bite, she spent 97 days at sea, rowing up to 21 hours a day and pushing the limits of human endurance.

But Zara’s journey wasn’t just about records—it was about mental fortitude, purpose, and the power of believing in the impossible. Along the way, she raised vital funds for Team Forces and Women in Sport, proving that true leadership isn’t just about strength—it’s about heart.
