PLEASE SAVE THIS INFORMATION:
Thank you for your registration. Welcome to this incredibly exclusive club. We will endeavour to add details of your row to the Ocean Rowing Society website in the next 5 days.
To help us manage details of your row and adjudicate potential Guinness World Records, we ask that all crews contact us on FOUR OCCASIONS.
Please contact us via email at coordinator@oceanrowing.com
-Right after this registration to get in touch
-One week prior to departure
-At the moment of departure
-AT THE MOMENT OF ARRIVAL
if you can’t message us yourself, please have your offshore contact do it. Posting the information about your arrival on ORS FB group is not waiving the obligation of contacting us upon your arrival.
If you don't contact us at these four times the row won't be registered.
No later than one week prior to your departure please provide a link to your tracking. We only accept Garmin and YB tracking devices. In case of a YB tracking device please contact YB at support@ybtracking.com and request enabling API in JSON file as this will help us to promote your row. Please mention Ocean Rowing Society International and CC coordinator@oceanrowing.com (otherwise API requires extra payment).
In case of Garmin, please enable Map Share, following this instruction.
Prior to departure please reset your tracking device.
Right after this registration please send us a picture of the team next to the boat or on board the boat at coordinator@oceanrowing.com
If your boat is not in our database, please also send us a picture of the boat alone as well.
Please also send us headshots of all the rowers who are not in our database yet.
PLEASE PROVIDE .GPX FILE AFTER COMPLETION OF YOUR EXPEDITION. To adjudicate your row, the .gpx file is mandatory. This file needs to be extracted from your chart plotter, not from your tracking device. Please make sure you learned how it work prior to your departure.
For emergencies and urgent communication first contact coast guards or other emergency contacts, next call us at +354 6925989 or at +44 7967826833. Let the coast guard have our contact if necessary.
Please be aware that we don't register rows after you have finished and we cannot adjudicate records until after you have completed your row and sent us all the details requested above.
