Millionaire Adventurer Sets Catamaran Record
From Times Wire Reports
Millionaire adventurer Steve Fossett and a crew of 12 set a speed record for sailing around the world, cutting nearly six days off the previous mark.
Fossett’s 125-foot catamaran crossed the finish line at the island of Ouessant near France’s Brittany coast after 58 days, 9 hours, 32 minutes and 45 seconds. The World Sailing Speed Record Council said it still must review the boat’s logs.
