Zac Sunderland, The 17-year-old from Thousand Oaks is the youngest sailor to complete the feat. The journey lasted 13 months.

Zac-SunderlandZac Sunderland, who left Marina del Rey 13 months ago with a bold ambition to become the youngest person to sail around the world alone, returned to complete that quest today at 10:30 a.m.

Sunderland, 17, who was greeted offshore and escorted in by an armada of well-wishers aboard dozens of sailboats and fancy yachts, cleared the breakwater beneath a clearing sky and stepped ashore at Fisherman’s Village in bright sunshine.
