Kenichi Horie
is a Japanese solo yachtsman. Horie first rose to prominence when he became the first person to sail solo across the Pacific Ocean in 1962. He has made other significant solo voyages, usually involving boats exhibiting some sort of environmentally friendly theme, including his 2008 voyage across the Western Pacific Ocean in a wave-powered boat.〔(afp.google, Japanese sailor first to cross Pacific in wave-powered boat )〕
== First Solo Voyage Across the Pacific ==
In 1962, at the age of 23, Horie became the first person to make a solo crossing of the Pacific Ocean. Leaving Nishinomiya Japan on May 12,〔( SFWeekly - Tales of the North Pacific )〕 in 94 days (on August 11) he arrived in San Francisco, California, U.S.A. aboard a sailboat called the ''Mermaid''. He arrived with no passport or money and was promptly arrested. Despite Horie’s best effort to legally depart from Japan, because of lack of precedent for international travel on a small sailboat, he was not able to obtain a passport, or an adequate amount of foreign currency. After learning of his voyage the mayor freed him and gave him a 30-day visa, and he was awarded the key to the city.
