An all-female team hopes to become the first trio to row 8,000 miles across the Pacific Ocean non-stop and unsupported to “inspire young people to feel that anything is possible”.

Miriam Payne, 24, Lottie Hopkinson-Woolley, also 24, and Jess Rowe, 27, aim to break three records with their feat, which will see them spend up to six months at sea.
