Gearoid Towey (born 26 March 1977 in Fermoy, Ireland) is an Irish Olympic athlete, former world champion in rowing, and trans-Atlantic rower. He competed at three Olympics – Sydney 2000, Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008. Towey, along with Ciaran Lewis, attempted to cross the Atlantic Ocean in 2005 in a 23 ft rowing boat. After 40 days at sea, having endured two tropical storms and a hurricane on the way, their boat was pitch poled by a 10-meter wave, leaving the men adrift 900 miles from landfall. They were rescued in the middle of a force 9 storm at night by the supertanker "Hispania Spirit".
