Product Information
On 31st October 1999 Jesse Martin, in his yacht Lionheart , completed the last great adventure of the 20th century by becoming the youngest person to sail solo, non-stop and unassisted around the world. He was 18 years old. After 50,000 kms and 328 days at sea he returned home to Port Phillip Bay and a waiting crowd of 20,000 onlookers. Jesse Martin was destined for adventure. After learning to sail at the age of 14 he travelled along Australia's tropical coast on a flimsy catamaran, and by 16 he had kayaked through the remote islands off Papua New Guinea and crewed on a yacht sailing from Belize to Tahiti. But the biggest adventure was still to come. Lionheart is Jesse's story - a story of courage, loneliness and danger - and of a young man's determination to live his dream.Product Identifiers
