Scottish brothers row 9,000 miles in F1-inspired boat across Pacific

Three Scottish brothers—Ewan, Jamie, and Lachlan Maclean—are undertaking a remarkable 9,000-mile unsupported row across the Pacific Ocean in a high-performance boat inspired by Formula One technology. Their vessel, named Emily-Rose, is a lightweight, carbon-fiber craft co-designed with the Ocean Rowing Company, weighing just 280 kilograms and constructed using F1-grade materials. The boat incorporates over 40 custom 3D-printed parts made with a Formlabs Form 4 printer and engineering resins, including ergonomic rowing seats, a removable bed, and mounts for satellite communication. This cutting-edge design allows the brothers to maximize efficiency, durability, and safety during their journey, which began in Lima, Peru, on April 13 and aims to reach Sydney, Australia, by early August.
