what we're about
three brothers
We’re Lachlan, Ewan and Jamie Maclean. We’re from Edinburgh but live on a croft in the Highlands where we’re training to become the fastest team to row across the Pacific Ocean.
In 2020, having never rowed seriously before, we rowed across the Atlantic. To everyone’s surprise, we broke three World Records and raised over £200,000 for charity. The Atlantic opened our eyes to the power of physical challenges with a purpose, inspiring us to launch The Maclean Foundation (SC051703) in 2023.
Our latest challenge will be a world first; no team has rowed the full Pacific Ocean non-stop and completely unsupported. Our mission is to raise £1,000,000 for clean water projects, giving over 30,000 people clean water for life.

The Maclean Foundation
We set up The Maclean Foundation in 2023 with a focus on clean water.
Clean water is the most basic human necessity on the planet, yet 10% of people worldwide don't have access to it.
The impact from our Pacific row will be delivered through our trusted partner charity, Feedback Madagascar (SC023568). Our focus is cantilever and gravity fed borehole systems in communities living on the edges of the south-east rainforest corridor.
£1m will bring change not just at community level; it will bring structural change to this entire region. Madagascar is a country in which only 14% of the rural population have access to a clean water source. We're doing something to change that.
