This week of Cape Horn to Port is a massive episode for us. The single most important ocean sailing record on the planet has fallen, as Sodebo Ultim 3 skippered by Thomas Coville wins the Trophy Jules Verne record for fastest boat to ever sail around the world, with a time of 40 days 10 hours 45 minutes. The sailors on the Famous Project, skippered by Alexia Barrier have also finished their circumnavigation, becoming the first all-female fully-crewed multihull to sail around the planet with a time of 57 days, 21 hours and 20 minutes.
I break down the completion of both of those journeys before chatting in-studio with legendary east coast based Class 40 sailor Rob Windsor. This is our first in-studio live recording and Rob is a great guest and a wealth of knowledge and experience. Stay tuned next week for more racing world updates and an interview with LawConnect navigator Christopher 'Lew' Lewis, fresh off of his 2nd place finish in the Rolex Sydney to Hobart race.
