I have recently stumbled upon one of the youngest solo circumnavigaters, Zac Sunderland. I am not sure if am just finding out about him now because the news never actually reached Guatemala. Zac Sunderland is only 16 and is attempting to sail around the world in just a year in a half, becoming the youngest man ever, but he has to make it back home before his 18th birthday. You can check his status at his homepage http://www.zacsunderland.com/. With all the technology today it definatly will make it easier for Zac to navigate than it was for Robin Lee Graham who currently holds the world record.
