They call themselves the “Coxless Crew,” and they’re planning to row across the Pacific from San Francisco to Cairns, Australia. Their goal, besides surviving the voyage, is to raise £250,000 for two favorite charities “Walking With the Wounded” and “Breast Cancer Care,” and to show women across the globe that they can do anything they dream of if they set their minds and bodies to it. Good luck to you, cockless sailors!


The Coxless Crew has six team members: Laura Penhaul, Emma Mitchell, Natatalia Cohen, Sabel Burnham, Lizanne Van Vuuren, Meg Dyos.
