Rob Roy Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 A really remarkable achievement. I bet she'll try again in a year or so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suze01 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Ellen MacAurthur has been quoted as saying that Joyon had a much bigger and hence faster boat than hers, so the time difference cannot be compared on a like for like basis. She is committed to other events for the next year or so, but "records are set to be broken". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
