We are a week late in noting this but Franck Cammas and and his nine-men crew onboard their 105 ft trimaran, Groupama 3, have won the Jules Verne trophy by setting a new round the world sailing record of  48 days, 7 hours, 44 minutes and 55 seconds.   The boat left Brest on January 31 and sailed around Cape Leewin, Cape of Good Hope and Cape Horn.
