| New Single-handed 'Round the World Record Set |
|
From the ISAF website:
"At 0654 GMT this morning, Francis JOYON (FRA) aboard the 90
ft Trimaran IDEC crossed the line from which he started just
under 73 days ago, to set the fastest single-handed circumnavigation
of the globe at 72 days, 22 hours and 55 minutes."
"The previous solo record, set during the 2000-2001 Vendee
Globe by winner, and Joyon's fellow countryman Michel
DESJOYEAUX stood at a little over 93 days in his Open 60
"PRB" and Joyon, in an incomparable boat, hammered that
record by over 20 days. Remarkably Joyon's time is less
than 10 days off the fully crewed, Jules Verne record set
by another Frenchman, Bruno PEYRON in Orange in 2002."
