An offshore sailor with over 10 trans-Pacific crossings, Kahn holds the double handed record from San Francisco to Oahu, Hawaii. Recent sailing achievements also include winning the double handed division of the 2007 Transpacific Yacht Race race from Los Angeles to Hawaii, and setting the Transpac record at 7 days, 19 hours, beating the previous time of 10 days, 4 hours.
