AltaSea Open House: Blind Sailor Charting New Horizons
Join us at AltaSea for our final Open House of the year and meet an extraordinary sailor who is redefining what’s possible on the open ocean
This special event features Mitsuhiro “Hiro” Iwamoto, an international keynote speaker and the first totally blind sailor to sail across the Pacific Ocean. Through his remarkable story of courage, trust, and resilience, Hiro inspires audiences of all ages to look beyond limitations and discover new possibilities.
As Hiro puts it, “I chose to see the world with my heart.”
Be Part of an Extraordinary Journey
Hiro is preparing for an ambitious early 2027 voyage: a solo, nonstop journey across the Pacific Ocean. Through this historic endeavor, he invites people around the world to follow his journey live and become his eyes as he navigates the vast open ocean.
At this Open House, learn more about Hiro’s story, his upcoming voyage, and the determination behind his mission to chart new horizons.
