WESTSAIL - Circumnavigators

 Westsailors regularly cruise the major oceans and many circumnavigate taking 1 to 5 years or more.  A few have made multiple trips around the world. 

Below is a list of Westsailors who are known to have circumnavigated.  The list was compiled from the records of Latitude 38, letters to the editor of the Windblown publication or from our long time members. 

Our list of circumnavigators include 2 winners of the SSCA achievement congratulations to:

2001 - Roger and Molly Firey of Sundowner W32 #251

2007 - Eric Forsyth  of Fiona W42 #042
