Olly and his Global Row team are embarking on another attempt while he still has the youth and energy to pull off a project of this unrivalled scale.

The team is now in the midst of a sponsorship drive to re-ignite the expedition, and to complete his solo world row in 2012.

With the necessary funding and the right boat, this incredible feat of bravery and strength is attainable.

Having already crossed the Atlantic, the Tasman and endured three hurricanes at sea, Olly knows that the expedition is well within his grasp.
