A former Leinster and Connacht Rugby star has completed a solo Atlantic crossing by rowing 4,800km. Damian Browne crossed the finish line of the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge at 9.30pm Irish time. The solo Atlantic rower had been at sea aboard his boat Gulliver’s Travels for nine weeks. As a solo rower there was no support vessel or company, just himself and a boat laden with food to sustain the adventurer on his journey.
