Memories >>> >>> FB page >>>

Ole Sylvest Elmer
January 11th 1948 - July 10th 2018

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Ole Elmer.

Ole rowed the Atlantic E-W twice, once in 2010 and then again in 2011. Rowing two oceans would have been more than enough for most people - however Ole decided to make two further attempts in late 2011 and 2013.

The contribution that Ole made to the sport however is far greater than simply rowing across the Atlantic. He commissioned the construction of a number of Ocean Rowing Boats including two new designs, but above all he brought his smile, generosity and huge enthusiasm to so many fellow ocean rowers.

Our thoughts go out to all of Ole’s friends and family at this time.

“Ocean Rowing is simple - just get in the boat and row, then row some more”
Ole Elmer (Ocean Rower)
