American Honda is now a contributing sponsor of Red Dot On the Ocean,
the Matt Rutherford Story.
In April of 2012, Matt Rutherford set a world record for his 27,000 mile solo, non-stop 309 day circumnavigation of the America’s, through the Northwest Passage and around Cape Horn, aboard St. Brendan, a 27 foot Albin Vega sailboat.
Matt Rutherford arrives at City Dock in Annapolis following his circumnavigation of the Americas.
A public high school drop-out, Matt eventually graduated from Eagle Rock School, an innovative, tuition free, private residential high school wholly funded by American Honda. The Eagle Rock experience played a critical role in turning around Matt’s life, instilling in him a passion for nautical history and the environment, and an eagerness to help others through volunteering.
