71: Round the World Solo Sailing Record, Manitou Pontoon
Posted by: | Comments
www.TheBoaters.TV EP 71 – First up French sail racing soloist Francis Joyon is making major headway in his bid to reclaim the record for the fastest non-stop, single-handed circumnavigation of the globe. Joyon’s 2004 record aboard his old trimaran IDEC beat the previous time set by Olivier de Kersauson in 1988 by a full 20 DAYS. In February 2005, Dame Ellen MacArthur stole the record from Joyon, bettering it by 1 day, 8 hours, 35 minutes, 49 seconds aboard her boat, B&Q. Now Joyon has a new trimaran: the 97-ft trimaran IDEC II — purpose built by the Anglo/French team of Nigel Irens and Benoit Cabaret for ocean record breaking. Joyon departed from Brest France on November 25, and only four days after he left, he had extended his lead to 280 miles over MacArthur’s record. Visit www.Trimaran-IDEC.com to learn more.

Christine also obtained title sponsorship for the expedition from Truestar Health, she media managed the expedition from Moscow to Vancouver, organized a fundraising event, created all the graphics for the expedition’s completion and was music producer for the film. Christine feels especially lucky to have heard rich and wonderful ocean stories from Julie via satellite phone as she and Colin crossed from Lisbon, Portugal to Limon, Costa Rica.

The solo round-the-world flight was completed in 67 hours and 2 minutes and 38 seconds. The Virgin Atlantic GlobalFlyer took off for its round-the-world record attempt from Salina Airport, Kansas at 6:47 pm CST on 28 February, 2005. Shortly after emerging from the confines of the 7’7″ cockpit, a jubilant Steve Fossett stated, “I’ve wanted to do this flight for a long time – it has been a major ambition. It would not have been possible without the right people being associated with the project, such as Scaled Composites, lead by Jon Karkow, who built the plane, and Sir Richard Branson, along with Virgin Atlantic’s support, and the team here at Kansas State University including the 11 students who were integral to the project. “I am very lucky guy – I got to achieve my ambition,” he said. On landing Steve was greeted by thousands of spectators at Salina Municipal Airport, who have been avidly following his attempt for the past 67 hours. Once Steve emerged from the cockpit he was met by his wife Peggy, Sir Richard Branson, his friend and fellow adventurer, Jon Karkow, Chief Engineer for the Virgin …
