A French sailor just circled the globe solo in 49 days, breaking the previous record by over 8 days.

From the article: His average speed was 23 knots, over the 27,325-mile course. He said, "The problem is that either you have too much canvas, or not enough canvas. It is therefore necessary to accept that, at times, you are sailing underwater," when commenting on sailing in 10m (32ft) seas. via Pocket http://ift.tt/2ilWYVd
