| Gabart's Trimaran Macif |
The French sailor Francois Gabart has broken the world record for sailing single-handed round the world. Arriving off the coast of Finistere in the early hours of Sunday morning Gabart had sliced over 6 days off the previous record, set last year. In fact last year's record set by Thomas Colville had smashed the previous time by 8 days (set in 2008). So these French sailors have taken nearly two weeks off the record in just twelve months.
