17 Year Old Sails SOLO Around the World
On July 16th, Zac Sunderland became the youngest person to ever circumnavigate the world solo by yacht. ESPN put together a feature writeup about this epic adventure you can check out HERE.
The total journey took about 13 months and covered about 25,000 nautical miles. At one point, he encountered a dangerous rogue wave, glowing from the phosphorescent phytoplankton, that came crashing down over his boat, destroying his electrical system. No phone, no radar, which meant he could never rest longer than 20 minutes in case a freighter was on a crash course. One of the many challenges he must have faced during his voyage.
He is now relaxing with his family in Marina del Rey.
You can check out his BLOG for a full account of his journey.
