The Jules Verne trophy is theirs.
They certainly earned it. Way to go.

I honestly did not think they would make it after they where about 500nm behind at Brazil,
but then they got the right system and build a 1490nm lead.

Now that the 50 day barrier has been broken will we see a 40-45 day record?

There is a great interview with Bruno Peyron (former record holder) on the Sailing Anarchy front page. It was a few days ago so scroll down.
