Product Description
BR"There are many lessons in sailing," Roy E. Disney believes. "Not just about competition, but the importance of teamwork, good communication, reliance in self, trust in others, and what the sea teaches us all about patience, perseverance, and just plain luck."

With an average age of 21.2 years, these fifteen fearless young sailors battled the elements and the odds as, on their own, they sailed a Transpac 52 called I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"Morning Light /Iacross the Pacific Ocean.
