Timeline
When they decided to make the trip, it was in order to try to beat the long-standing North Atlantic speed record set in 1896 by Norwegians Frank Samuelsen and George Harbo which had stood at 55 days 7 hours for some 114 years.
Livar Nysted (born 27 September 1970) is an ocean rower and an artist, a painter.
He grew up in the small village of Hvannasund in the Faroe Islands.
Nysted has achieved five world records in ocean rowing.
Livar Nysted has won the Faroese Championship in outdoor rowing three times: in 2001, 2004 and 2007.
There are six events held around the islands every summer, the winner gets 7 points, number two gets 5 points, number three gets 4 points etc. The boat which gets most points after all six boat races wins the Faroese Championship.
In 2003 Livar Nysted and nine other Faroese men made an attempt to row from the Faroe Islands to the Shetland Islands in a Faroese rowing boat, just like the Faroese ocean rower Ove Joensen did all by himself in 1986.
The boat was called Norðoyingur, which means a person who comes from the Northern Islands (Norðoyggjar) in the Faroes.
They got bad weather and had to give up after 24 hours.
Two years later in 2005 he tried again this time with another crew and another boat, which was called Havrenningur.
They almost made it, they saw the coast of the Shetland Islands, but they were more or less ordered to give up, because of bad weather, and so they did.
Their trip ended after 6 days, and they were only 18 miles from the shore.
A boat from the Shetland Coast Guard dragged them to land.
Leven had once before sat a world record on this distance, it was in 2008 with La Mondiale.
In 2009 Livar Nysted was one of the crew members of La Mondiale, which made an attempt to cross the South Atlantic Ocean, it was a speed record attempt.
The boat was cut short by the irreparable damage to the rudder after a collision with an unknown submerged object.
The 14 crew were evacuated safely onto a passing ship 'Island Ranger' but the boat was lost presumed sunk some 1000 miles from the Canary Islands.

Which remains the record to date for the North Atlantic.
During their voyage they were capsized twice in storms.
