Is it a sailor\u2019s ultimate dream to sail around the world?\u00a0 Look at how these people did it!<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

\"liveaboard\"<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to be mad to sail around the world \u2013 but a small element of madness certainly seems to help in some cases!<\/p>\n

Are you the intrepid explorer who would want to sail around the world in the fastest possible time?\u00a0 Or are you the more laid-back sailor who enjoys a leisurely pace, and would treat this amazing circumnavigation as a big long holiday?\u00a0 A 36-year long holiday maybe?\u00a0 But more about that later\u2026.<\/p>\n

Whatever your persuasion, to actually sail around the world is no mean feat.\u00a0 And over the years there have been many people who have undertaken and completed this challenge \u2013 however not without a fair degree of controversy in some cases.<\/p>\n

Take for example the first person to sail around the world.\u00a0 To the reasonably educated, or maybe an avid quizzer, Ferdinand Magellan would probably be the answer.\u00a0 Wrong!\u00a0 He was the mastermind behind the expedition but did not complete the voyage as he was killed in a fight with islanders in the Philippines.<\/p>\n

The accolade went to Juan Sebastian de Elcano who, after Magellan\u2019s death, eventually sailed the remaining ship back to Spain and completed the journey in 1522 \u00a0\u2013 with only 18 crew out of the original 260 that set off in 1519 \u2013 the remainder having lost their lives during the voyage.<\/p>\n

Maybe the 260 crew who initially joined Magellan wouldn\u2019t have been so keen to go if they had known it was his intention to sail around the world.\u00a0 At that point Magellan had omitted to tell them when they applied for the crewing jobs – just in case he frightened them away!<\/p>\n

The first-ever solo, single-handed circumnavigation was made by Joshua\u00a0 Slocum. \u00a0He set off to sail around the world from Boston Harbour, MA \u00a0in his 37-foot sloop, Spray-on April 24th<\/sup> 1895 and returned to Rhode Island on June 27th<\/sup> 1898, taking just over 3 years for his trip.<\/p>\n

British sailor Robin Knox-Johnston, made the first-ever solo non-stop circumnavigation, starting his journey in June 1968, and arriving back in the UK 313 days later in his handmade yacht Suhali.\u00a0 And Ellen MacArthur still holds the record she set in February 2005 for the fastest solo non-stop sail around the world by a woman.\u00a0 Her record sail in her trimaran, B&Q, took in 71 days 14 hr 18 minutes.<\/p>\n

The French also hold several circumnavigation sailing records including the fastest crew to sail around the world.\u00a0 This was achieved in January 2012 by Loick Peyron and his crew in trimaran Banque Populaire V, during the Jules Verne Trophy taking 45 days, 13 hours, 42 minutes.<\/p>\n

French yachtsman, \u00a0Francois Gabart, 29 won the Vendee Globe solo round-the-world sailing race after 78 days at sea, setting a world record and becoming the youngest person in a mono-hull boat to win the competition.\u00a0 The Vendee Globe<\/a>, held every four years, is the only single-handed, non-stop around the world sailing competition and recognised as probably the most challenging sporting event in the world.<\/p>\n

Or are you looking for a significantly more leisurely pace?<\/p>\n

Abandoning the rat race and sailing off into the sunset is the stuff of daydreams for many.\u00a0 And that\u2019s just what intrepid couple Bill and Laurel Cooper did.\u00a0 And they didn\u2019t just sail around the world once \u2013 they did it four times \u2013 in 36 years!\u00a0 Bill quit his high-flying City job and sold their home in 1976 and sailed away on a boat they built themselves. \u00a0In 36 years at sea, they have notched up 100,000 nautical miles, sailed across seven seas, travelled 22,000 miles along canals and rivers, and have dropped anchor in 45 different countries.<\/p>\n

Or would you go for the super-luxury way to sail around the world, waited on hand and foot in your suite on a cruise liner.\u00a0 Well if money is no object you could spend \u00a364,000 on a suite for two on a World circumnavigation cruise, taking in 36,746 nautical miles covering 22 countries and 33 ports over a 110 day period.\u00a0 There\u2019s no hurry to book up for this voyage as it doesn\u2019t go until 2014 \u2013 the 2013 sail around the world cruise is completely sold out!<\/p>\n

To many avid sailors with time on their hands, the best way to sail around the world would be in a yacht or sailboat of their choice, at a completely leisurely pace and take as long as they want.\u00a0 Maybe that planned stay in the Caribbean could turn into something a lot longer \u2013 and why not!<\/p>\n

And if you want to sail around the world with that special person or a friend \u2013 or if you\u2019re looking for crew – you could find them on lovesail.com. T<\/a>he ultimate honeymoon –\u00a0 to sail around the world?\u00a0\u00a0 Well check this out – Finding Love on the High Seas<\/a><\/p>\n
