Monday 5 April 2004, 14h43 GMT Isle d'Ouessant, France: 58 days 9 hours 32 mins 45 secs after taking the start on February 7th, 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). They have just demolished the 2 year old Round The World Sailing record - by almost 6
days (an improvement of 5d 23h 4m 39s). Their time topples the May, 2002 mark of Bruno Peyron and Orange I - and fulfils Fossett's decade old
ambition to achieve 'the most important record in sailing'.
