Since completing a three-year, 35,000 mile circumnavigation in June 1995, Beth Leonard has lectured widely, written for leading sailing magazines and, along with her partner Evans Stazinger, outfitted a new 50-foot aluminium cutter on which they logged an additional 50,000 miles, sailing around Labrador, Iceland, Scotland, Cape Horn and through the Southern Ocean to Australia.
