Lia Ditton prepping for her incredible Yo! Row expedition next year.

Drew Marine Signal & Safety is sponsoring adventurer Lia Ditton and her ‘Yo! Row’ expedition for 2018, when she attempts to become the first woman to row the North Pacific Ocean solo.

Drew Marine Signal & Safety will provide Lia with a selection of vital Pains Wessex marine distress signals to keep her safe at sea while she attempts the  challenge.

At 36, Lia Ditton has a vast amount of nautical experience, having sailed the equivalent of eight laps of the globe – rowing the Atlantic as part of a pair in 2010 and being the only woman to finish the solo trans-Atlantic sailboat race in 2005 in the process. Her 2018 expedition will be her toughest yet as she faces arguably the wildest stretch of ocean in the world, battling against 40ft waves and 65mph winds.
