100 DAYS AT SEA IN A JUNK-RIGGED SAILBOAT WITHOUT AN ENGINE OR ELECTRONICS

- Kris Larsen spent 104 days at sea in his junk-rigged sailbaot blown off course without an engine or any electronics. Mr. Larsen used celestial navigation forsaking GPS, EPIRBS, and even a toilet on his minimalist sailboat as he sailed around the world.
His wife, Nat Uhing, wrote in her blog that his boat lacked basic electrical gear and an engine. She wrote:
"...since he built his steel Chinese-junk-rigged sailboat and started sailing around without the usual engine, GPS, EPIRB, digital charts, radio, solar panels, water-maker, or toilet."
Mr. Larsen and his wife dispute that this was a sailboat rescue. He only asked for a tow into Maui because there was no wind.

The world needs more adventurers like this in it.
I know right? He didn’t use engines or nothing, it was all nature, and know-how.
No engine isn't a big deal, the navigating by the stars is incredible @@andrewjansen9702
A very special person to be respected.
This guy is an inspiration
Holy crap! So this guy went all old school and did things the way sailors did back centuries ago when we had old sailing ships. Unbelievable. I can’t believe my ears.
He has also self-published several books about his life and voyages (truly self-published, the two I have are handbound in cardboard with used nautical chart dust covers). His wife has them for sale in an Etsy shop, available when she's in port. Some inspiring reading.
I have one of those.. makes for an interesting read.
Thanks for telling us that.
Unfortunately, the books are no longer for sale. Anyone who has one should consider themselves lucky.

Cool man
How did he get through the Panama Canal with out a motor, Do they tow you?
will edge He probably would have had to put on an outboard. We know that he struggled getting the Canal transit approval and he told the USCG his last Port was in Panama. Beyond that I am not aware of anything else that has been written about his transit. Mr. Larsen has declined to talk about his trip with me and other members of the media.
@O R Y X You can be towed by another vessel.
they raft you up with a boat that has a engine.
He got lifted out with a crane and trucked it across to the pacific side and craned back in. He inquired about being towed through the canal but was told he would have to have a towing boat with two engines.
You say junk, I say wind waker
lol nothing like a crazy russian
Donald Riddler was not so fortunate
He should have refused the tow from the. USCG. He wasnt in an emergency situation.
"Disoriented". Anyone in a sail boat gets that from time to time. Now he will be forever remembered as Larson the "russian" that we had to rescue.
Pat Aherne I don’t think he could have refused a tow from the USCG once they cane out. In the end, it did not make a difference. It gave him a chance to restock and not bob around in the calms.
One thing I know for sure, 100-days without taking liberty from your vessel changes a person. Seen it a few times with commercial mariners on big ships (tankers, container carriers, etc)… their personality changes in a way that is irreversible. Besides calling them “quirky”, it’s hard to describe… but it’s easy to identify.
Great sailor.
met him in panama
I'll remember the USCG as the dumb Americans who thought one of the world's most self-reliant and experienced sailors needed rescuing.
God fucking damn! I appreciate simplicity but that's too far for me 😂
Load that Metal Junk up with more Vodka and perhaps Mushrooms and Maui Wowie Gummy Bears and some more fishing gear for that Salty Dog and cast those lines. Imagine if he gets to China and the Corona Virus hit like the Black Plague and a Russian upstages the Chinese on a Modern Metal Junk is the future storyline.🌈🐲😆🤪🦞🦀🦑🦐🐙🍜🥠🥔🍍🥥🍄🍹🍸🍺🥂🍾🎏⛩🏆⛵🏝🏖🌊🌦🌎
