John Guzzwell (1930 - 23 August 2024) was a yachtsman who circumnavigated the world single-handed from 1955-1959 in a 20ft 6in (6.25m) wooden yawl named Trekka that he built in a shed behind a fish and chip shop in Victoria, British Columbia. Trekka held the record for the smallest yacht to complete a circumnavigation until 1987 when Serge Testa broke the record in his 11-foot-10-inch (3.61 m) boat, the Acrohc Australis. Guzzwell was also a renowned timber shipwright.
