D.H. Clarke D.F.C., A.F.C. (Nobby)

40 years of recording Ocean Rowing records in Guinness World Records

1967 - 2007

	In 1967 Squadron Leader D.H. Clarke D.F.C., A.F.C. ("Nobby" to his friends) started recording ocean rowing records for the Guinness Book of Records.

Guinness World Records takes this opportunity to thank Nobby for his contribution to the book from 1967 till 1990.
It is the assistance of people like Nobby that makes the book the great success it is today.

Guinness World Records is pleased to be able to build on the work of Nobby Clarke with the Ocean Rowing Society International.

The latest edition of the records book (2007) celebrates 40 years of ocean rowing records and welcomes any claims from ocean rowers who wish to have their achievements listed in future Guinness World Records books
