The Maclean Brothers talk to Tori James
Three Brothers in a Boat: A True Story of Adventure and Purpose Rowing the Pacific
– St Mary’s Church
How do ordinary people achieve the extraordinary? In 2025, the Maclean brothers – Ewan, Jamie and Lachlan – set the fastest known time for rowing across the Pacific Ocean, raising £1 million for charity in the process. But how did they grow from complete novices into record-breaking pros?
Find out how the journey – nail-biting, uplifting and inspiring – tested their resolve, their relationships and their belief in one another.
The brothers are founders of the Maclean Foundation, with a mission to raise funds for clean water projects. They talk to Tori James, a record-breaking adventurer who herself has taken on some of the most extreme challenges on our planet.
