Evans Starzinger & Beth Leonard are among the leading blue water cruising sailors today.Cruising (maritime)
During the 1990's they completed a Circumnavigation aboard a Shannon 37' ketch, using the typical tropical route but including Cape Hope. During the 2000's they have taken a custom built Van De Stadt designed aluminum fractional sloop above the Arctic Circle and around all five great capes - Cape Horn, Cape of Good Hope, Cape Leeuwin, South West Cape, Tasmania and South West Cape, New Zealand. This included a 9000mile, 59 day, non-stop leg sailing East in the Southern Ocean from Puerto Williams to Fremantle. Evans & Beth have been awarded the Vasey Vase by the Ocean Cruising club and the Far Horizons Medal by the Cruising club of America for their voyages.
Previous to their first voyage they both worked for McKinsey & Company, a leading corporate strategy consulting firm. In between the two voyages, Evans Starzinger worked for General Electric and Beth wrote two books (The Voyager's Handbook and Following Seas).
