A 17-year-old Californian became the youngest person to sail around the world alone Thursday. Zac Sunderland docked his 36-foot Intrepid at Marina del Rey, a coastal community west of Los Angeles, completing a 28,000-mile trip that began last year. “It’s been a crazy 13 months,” said the shaggy-haired sailor, who beat the record held by an Australian who was over 18 when he completed the voyage in 1996. But even now, Sunderland’s record is being challenged: A British sailor a few months younger is attempting the solo circumnavigation in a bigger, faster boat. “I really don’t care,” he said. “Someone’s going to beat it some day.”
