Who would you trust to row the Pacific Ocean with? | Blair Kinghorn

Join Ewan, Jamie & Lachlan Maclean - the Scottish brother trio who’re in the midst of a 9,000‑mile non‑stop, unsupported row across the Pacific - as they break bread (well, freeze‑dried dinners!) with Blair Kinghorn, mid‑mission.

The Macleans, currently nearly halfway through their attempt to break the world record from Lima to Sydney in under 120 days, have been pushing through relentless weather, salt sores, a dodgy autohelm and a broken water maker.

In this candid and inspiring chat, they all tuck into their daily freeze‑dried meals while rowing in shifts aboard their carbon‑fibre boat Rose Emily—named in memory of their late sister. Together, they explore:

• What Blair has done with his career, becoming one of the best rugby players in the world.

• Chronic seasickness, endurance fuelling, and hydration: lessons from the ocean.

• What Blair eats as a professonal rugby player and which Scotland Rugby player he would trust on a Pacific crossing.

This is not just an adventure story—it’s a real-time deep dive into resilience, camaraderie, and purpose. If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to eat your dinner hundreds of miles offshore, sleep in shifts in a cramped rowing boat, and still find hope in every stroke—this episode is for you.
