MAIWAR is the 24ft ocean rowing boat Tom Robinson used to row solo across the Pacific Ocean — covering 7,000 miles from Peru to Vanuatu, an expedition that totalled 265 days at sea over a period of fourteen months.
She was designed in the traditional method: starting with a half model, then drawing a lines plan, then lofting full size. Her shape was inspired by the whaleboats of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries — craft proven over long distances under oar, and built to be handled by very few hands.
