People are in awe of this shy a 55-year-old, awarded AO and OBE for his efforts. Jon Sanders sailed single-handed round the world 3 times non-stop without outside assistance. He has circumnavigated the world 7 times, and wants to go again, sponsor permitting. He is in the Guinness Book of Records for "longest distance continually sailed by any vessel" and " longest period alone at sea". This is only a small part of what Sanders has achieved.
