Zac , all interests in   his  life are from the sea. He is a 17-year-old  US  sailor.   After  a   hard 13-month
voyage, he and his 11-metre sailboat arrived at a Southern California harbour. He becomes the youngest
person to sail around the world alone.
When Zac was just a child, he had a dream-driving his own boat to travel around the world . so he
saved all his pocket money . When he was 16 years old, he had 6,500 dollars. He bought a sailboat, and
started his journey with the support of his father, a ship builder.
On June 14, 2008, Zac left Marin Del Rey, south of Los Angeles, and celebrated his 17th birthday at
sea near Africa's Cape of Good Hope.

welcomed by a lot of people. It is said fewer than  250 People  have sailed around the world alone. The
number of reaching the top of Mount Everest is three  times as large  as the number of sailing around the
world alone.
