Tania Aebi 

 

     Tania Aebi was a seventeen-year-old New York City school dropout bicycle messenger in  1987 when she decided to become the first American woman to sail around the world  alone. She had a twenty-six-foot boat and no nautical tradition when she set out. She  admits to cheating on her Coast Guard navigation exam. In a hurricane off Bermuda,  generator gone, her life in peril, she taught herself navigation in a hurry by flashlight  and made port. Two years later her record-making circuit of Planet Earth was complete.
