In 2009, at the New York Yacht Club, the Cruising Club of America awarded sailing couple, Lin & Larry Pardey the prestigious Far Horizons Award. TheSailingChannel.TV interviewed Lin & Larry about the honor in front of the NYYC in New York City. The award reads...

"For their world wide cruising and two circumnavigations, all in two wooden boats that they built with no engines and navigated by conventional means. Their books, videos, DVDs and magazine articles have been read by sailors around the world. They are the only couple to have circumnavigated both east about and west about on boats they built themselves."
