New Round The World Sailing Record for Fossett and Crew on Cheyenne
Monday 5 April 2004 Isle de Ouessant, France:
They've done it!
58 days 9 hours 32 mins 45 secs
American skipper Steve Fossett and his international crew of 12 aboard the 125' maxi-catamaran Cheyenne crossed the official WSSRC start-finish line here at Le Stiff lighthouse on the French island of Ouessant (Ushant) - and have demolished the 2 year old Round The World Sailing record - by almost 6 days (improvement 5d 23h 4m 39s). Their time topples the May, 2002 mark of Bruno Peyron and Orange I and fulfill's Fossett's decade old ambition to achieve the most important record in sailing.
