Voyager Coffee is proud to support three inspiring women – Clare O’Reilly, RosieTong and Mel Jarman – as they prepare to row 3,000 miles across the Atlantic in the 2025 World’s Toughest Row.
Competing as the all-female crew Row with the Flow, their mission is about more than endurance, it’s about purpose. They’re taking on this extraordinary challenge in support of Ocean Generation and the Dame Kelly Holmes Trust, with funds raised helping the team to get to the start line and then going toward these charities that are doing incredible work.
To kick off their campaign, The Brew Hub in Buckfastleigh will host a celebration of adventure, community and courage. From 3pm onwards on Saturday 23rd August, guests can get up close to the crew’s boat, enjoy music, and take part in an afternoon of stories and Q&As featuring the Row with the Flow team alongside guest speakers from previous Atlantic crossings.
Speakers include:
- Daniel Lewis, former Royal Marine, who crossed the Atlantic in 44 days as part of a four-man team aboard The Mayflower – surviving an astonishing near miss when a 100kg marlin pierced the boat inches from a crewmate’s leg.
- Claire Allinson, double world record holder and two-time Atlantic rower, most recently as skipper of the fastest mixed five crew to row an ocean in 47 days.
- Richard Allinson, who completed his first ocean crossing in 2025 alongside Claire aboard Team Rollocks, celebrating his birthday at sea.
Clare O’Reilly says: “The oceans provide every second breath we take and in our different ways all three of us have been inspired by the water our whole lives. We’re aiming for the women’s trio record which Claire once held and while the ocean will ultimately decide if we get that, we’re working hard as a crew and loving our training. We have the pedigree of the world record holding boat to cross on and the crew who set the record have wished us well. We can’t wait to take to the ocean and row with the flow.”
“This is an awesome adventure, a huge challenge of endurance, teamwork and commitment and Clare, Rosie and Mel are taking it on whilst supporting two incredible charities,” said Emma Davis, Managing Director of Voyager Coffee. “This is an adventure of a lifetime that’s inspiring to all of us. While we’re not in the boat, we’ll be with them every step of the way and are proud to be supporting them.”
