Man who learned to row at 49 to cross the Atlantic is preparing for an even more extreme adventure<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A CARDIFF-BORN man who rowed solo across the Atlantic in 2023 is preparing for his next adventure – sailing non-stop around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But despite his experience in ocean rowing, Sam Glover, from Roath, has never sailed before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sam Glover, 50, has signed up for the Global Solo Challenge <\/a> 2027, an extreme endurance test in which he will single-handedly sail 27,000 miles around the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI might be the least experienced in this challenge, but I\u2019m driven by my connection to the sea and the adventure that awaits,\u201d said Sam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
