#322. Dustin Reynolds is on a mission to become the first-ever double-amputee solo circumnavigator. After losing his left arm, left leg and nearly his life in a terrible motorcycle accident in 2008, Dustin regrouped, decided he wanted to live, and set out to fulfill a dream that started on a whim. I caught up with him earlier this spring when he was in Panama preparing for the final leg of his voyage home to Hawaii.

ON THE WIND is presented by Edson Marine. With their long history, tradition, and ties to quality craftsmanship and true seamanship, Edson is the perfect partner for 59 North and ON THE WIND.
Our first experience with Edson was when we retrofitted a tiller onto ARCTURUS before our first trans-Atlantic, ten years ago now. Edson supplied a custom machined rudder-post extension and cast bronze tiller head, which is still on ARCTURUS under her new owner today.
Steering on offshore boats is a ‘mission critical’ system and whether it’s tiller hardware, binnacle steering, replacement chain, cables & sheaves or even basic steering maintenance, Edson has you covered.
