Yankee Girl, a plywood sloop only ten feet long, had been meticulously designed and built in his garage at home in Minnesota. Enhancing its unique exterior appearance and bringing light to the interior of the sturdy little boat were three round Beckson portlights on each side. His all-important safety gear included a Beckson Thirsty-Mate® pump. In 1981 he took his Yankee Girl for an even longer expedition, 7800 miles from California to Australia, achieving another first—in the smallest vessel ever to cross the South Pacific! He arrived in Sydney, after a stop in Honolulu, to a hero's welcome. Afterwards, about Beckson products, he said they had " . . . served me faithfully on my solo sailing voyage across the Pacific . . . " Speiss's perilous Atlantic crossing is recounted with Marlin Bree in a must-read thriller of a book, Alone Against the Atlantic (1981.) His Pacific voyage is included in Broken Seas, an anthology of astounding sea adventures by Marlin Bree. 51 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) 1-5/8" (4.1 cm) 4 3 2 1 1 2 3 4 2-1/4" (5.73 cm) 6-7/16" (16.35) 4-7/16" (11.27 cm) 3-1/2" (8.89 cm)
