2020 BLUE WATER MEDAL

Randall Reeves has been named winner of the 2020 Blue Water Medal by the Cruising Club of America for sailing his 45-foot aluminum cutter, Moli, alone around Antarctica and then through the Northwest Passage in a single season—departing and arriving from San Francisco.

Reeves, 57, is the first person to imagine and accomplish the 39,000-nautical-mile voyage, which creates a figure-8 track around the world, keeping the Americas to port and Antarctica to starboard. For more information on Reeves, visit his website (figure8voyage.com).
