Ellen MacArthur has smashed the world record for a solo
circumnavigation, finishing in under 71 days 13 hours.
The previous record holder Francis Joyon took 72 days 22 hours 54 mins.
She has to cross the line by 0204 EST Wednesday morning - it's not a
done deal yet.

Hi Tom: I think you do not have the correct information. Ellen has
crossed the finish line and she has the new World's Record. My
congratulations to her. She is truly a Valiant Lady!
