Three brothers back on shore after record Pacific rowing

Gulf Today

August 31, 2025

Three Scottish brothers stepped ashore in Australia on Saturday after claiming a new record for rowing nonstop and unsupported across the Pacific Ocean, “over the moon” to be back on dry land.

Ewan, Jamie and Lachlan MacLean set off in a carbon fibre dinghy from Lima in Peru in April for the 14,500 kilometres journey, enduring violent storms and sickness during their 139 days at sea.

At one point Ewan was swept overboard before being pulled back into the boat, while they battled exhaustion and feared running out of food.

"The fastest human-powered crossing of the full Pacific Ocean, nonstop and unsupported," they said on social media after arriving in Cairns.
