A remarkable team of British women have set a new world record for the fastest overall crossing of the mid-Pacific Ocean by a trio, beating the previous record by 15 hours. Their journey underscores not only their extraordinary determination and resilience but also the crucial role YB Tracking technology plays in ensuring their safety and enabling supporters to share in their adventure.
The three British women — Jess Goddard, Charlotte Irving, and Taylor Winyard — embarked on the World's Toughest Row, an epic 2,400-mile journey across the Pacific Ocean from San Francisco to Hawaii. Despite facing a capsizing incident and other formidable obstacles, they completed the journey in 38 days, one hour and 35 minutes, shattering the previous men's record.
Ensuring Safety and Connectivity
YB Tracking provides reliable tracking and emergency communication solutions for anyone travelling outside of mobile phone coverage. Each rowing team in the World's Toughest Row is equipped with our cutting-edge YB3 tracking device. These devices are designed to provide real-time location updates and two-way communication, ensuring that organisers can monitor the teams' progress and safety at all times.
Real-Time Connection with Supporters
One of the most rewarding aspects of our technology is how it connects adventurers with their supporters. Family, friends, and fans can follow the rowers' progress in real-time through our online platform, which provides detailed updates on their location and conditions. This continuous connection is not just about tracking; it’s about sharing the journey, the highs and lows, and the incredible achievements along the way.
The British women's remarkable feat will doubtless inspire countless people around the world. By providing live updates and allowing supporters to track their progress, we at YB Tracking played a part in bringing this story to life, enabling a global audience to celebrate their success.

We are immensely proud of our long partnership with the World's Toughest Row (previously called the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge).
