Oliver Hicks
Oliver Hicks will attempt to become the first person to row solo around the world. He aims to travel east along the 50’ South line of latitude which will take him from New Zealand heading east passing to the south of Cape Horn and then far below the Cape of Good Hope and finally returning to New Zealand about two years later. This Expedition will be a world first; it has yet to be successfully completed. The row will be the first to take in the worlds three major oceans in one voyage – the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans. It will be the longest voyage undertaken in a rowing boat.
