Dave Holby-Wolinski (born 25 December 1980) is a British indoor rowing endurance world record holder. On 18 December 2010 he became the first person to row the virtual distance around the earth's equator (40,075 km) on a Concept2 land rowing machine, setting a new Guinness World Record of 934 days. The record appears in the 2013 Guinness Book of World Records[1][2][3] and he has raised over £70,000 for a number of local and national charities, including Breast Cancer Now and Naomi House & Jacksplace.[4]
