Jerome Rand Speaker Bio :
In 2017, Jerome Rand set sail from Gloucester, MA in his Mighty Sparrow, a 32 foot-long Westsail, the fabled 20,000 pound monohull, tough enough to withstand a blast from a Mark 48 torpedo. Which was just as well – this was a voyage only four men in history had conquered. All of them with nerves of steel, and wrists like strap-wrenches.
Of all the hickory tough men that had tried, most had either quit or died – never seen again. On top of that, it is the most lonely pursuit; often driving people to the brink of insanity who dare to attempt it. The unsponsored cruising boat, less than 35’ long, sailing solo, non-stop around the world, is a withering undertaking.
It cuts right through the viciously rough Southern Ocean which surrounds Antarctica. That’s a 13,000 mile stretch of ice cold water, where waves can exceed fifty feet, and winds can often be north of 80 mph. It is the place where more sailors have been lost than anywhere else on earth. But not Jerome Rand.
Knocked down, half frozen, battered by waves as big as office blocks, he kept right on sailing. For 271 days in total. That’s why, on June 30th, 2018, under a southwesterly breeze, Rand sailed once more across Gloucester Harbor, just north of Boston.
He had achieved the near impossible. A year earlier, he was just a boy with a dream from the shores of Northern Michigan. But now he had sailed 29,000 nautical miles, in a 43-year old sloop, right through the front door of the world’s most elite club.
