“Red Dot on the Ocean” chronicles the remarkable journey of Matt Rutherford, a young man with a tumultuous past who rose to fame in the sailing world. At the age of 30, Rutherford set sail from Annapolis, Maryland, in a modest and weathered 27-foot fiberglass sloop, embarking on a solo voyage that would see him navigate the icy waters of the Arctic and the towering waves of Cape Horn. His daring expedition, covering 27,000 miles, made him the first person to sail alone and non-stop around the Americas—a feat many seasoned sailors had deemed a “suicide mission.”
