Zac Sunderland Set to Break Record for Youngest Sailor to Go ‘Round the World
On June 17 of last year, at age 16, Zac Sunderland set out – by himself – aboard an Islander 36 that he bought with his own money earned from summer jobs, in an attempt to become the world’s youngest person to sail around the world alone.
This week, some 26,000 miles and 13 months later, the now 17-year old from Southern California will make landfall in Marina del Ray, California, completing his solo circumnavigation.
A news story about Zac appeared on NBC Nightly News this Sunday, July 12. If you do not see the video clip below, click here to watch this national network coverage.
