| | Welcome to the Tristan Jones Web Site |
 | | Built in England in 1960, the Dart had its share of adventures with early owners, but the trip that would bring the boat world-wide fame, began in 1973 when she was purchased by adventurer Tristan Jones. |
 | | With Jones at the helm, Sea Dart became the first boat to sail the Panama Canal (using hippies as the "sail"), the first vessel of its size to conquer the Humbolt Current and, most notably, the first ocean-going vessel to sail Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable water on Earth. |
 | | After Titicaca Jones drug, pushed, hauled, sailed, floated and wrestled Sea Dart down the River Paraguay and across South America in an epic challenge that tested the resolve of what had to be one of the most obstinate, determined men who ever lived. |
