In 1898 Joshua Slocum became the first person to sail solo around the world. By 1967 Slocum had made three circumnavigations. The very next person to obtain membership into this unique club was Francis Chichester who did in in 1967. But it wasn't until 1969 when Robin Lee Graham became the first teenager to sail (solo) around the world, that the dream lit a fire in the hearts of so many baby boomer - sailing wannabes. Since Robin Lee Graham - over 250 people are known to have completed a solo circumnavigation around the world.
