Last word in yacht racing round the world solo planned
Long Beach based sailor Bob Lengyel plans a 18 month bid to circumnavigate solo in a 26 foot Dawson boat named Prodigal. He envisions a seven month voyage with four rest stops, after finishing the 1975 England to America run. Lengyel emphasizes the sea as life and quotes his lone, romantic view of solo sailing.
