Breaking News: Dodge Morgan no longer fastest Circumnavigator in a Cruising Boat
It seems that solo sailing is literally taking off with two very recent successful solo non-stop circumnavigations. The first Indian to solo is now Abhilash Torry, 45, completing the route in 159 days. The next day Chinese citizen, Goo Chuan, 47, completed the voyage in 137 days, 20 hours, 1 minute and 57 seconds to take the record for the fastest in a cruising boat. The previous record stood at 150 days and 6 hours held by Dodge Morgan, 54, an American sailor.
