Sailing into the Record Books
After six weeks of sailing alone at sea, a teenager sets a new world record
On January 3, 2007, Michael Perham, a 14-year-old from Potters Bar, England, steered his sailboat into the harbor off the Caribbean island of Antigua. He was greeted by a cheering crowd, a steel band, and a mob of photographers snapping his picture. After traveling for six weeks and crossing 5,600 kilometers (3,500 miles) of water, the teen had just become the youngest person to sail solo across the Atlantic Ocean.
