Solo around the world at only 17 years old, the fabulous journey of Jesse Martin. We met in Hobart.

I had the opportunity to meet him in Tasmania, what an incredible person !
Jesse Martin, is a German-Australian sailor who in 1999 became the youngest person to circumnavigate the globe solo, non-stop and unassisted. Martin's journey in the 34-foot (10 m) S&S 34 sloop Lionheart-Mistral took approximately 11 months. He chronicled his adventures in the book Lionheart: A Journey of the Human Spirit, and his story was made into a documentary, Lionheart: The Jesse Martin Story. Here are only few questions about his trip, more informations on his UA-cam channel imajica-media . Thank you for your words, Jesse, fair winds and see you soon in Les Sables d’Olonne !
PS some of you may have heard recently about the Netflix movie of Jessica Watson, True Spirit. Actually the one who inspired Jessica to do her trip was Jesse Martin, she read Jesse's book and then decided to do it too :) A beautiful story of sailing and inspiration and dreams.
