Oct 2021 NWMA Meeting | Dark Seas, The Voyages with Captain Donald Lawson

Captain Donald Lawson is an accomplished racer, sailing instructor and boat captain.
Captain Lawson hopes to break 12 world records during his voyage around the planet, including being the first African American to sail solo non stop around the world.
He is a devoted and passionate multihull sailor having won the Chesapeake Bay Multihull Championship twice.
After developing his own sailing skills on the Chesapeake Bay, Captain Lawson branched off into solo & shorthanded sailing around the US and throughout Europe.
Captain Lawson now has his sights on setting world records including short courses and the 2024 Vendee Globe around the world race.
For the record runs, Captain Lawson will sail onboard a clean energy powered trimaran that will be equipped with solar panels, hydro-generators and a bio diesel engine.
His greater goal is to inspire minorities and low-income students about the maritime industry, careers on the water and the joy of sailing, while providing access to much-needed resources.
