British woman sails to world record
TechCo Training would like to congratulate a British sailor, 36-year-old Dee Caffari, who has become the first woman to sail solo and non-stop both ways around the world. She claimed the unique record today when she completed the Vendée Globe yacht race in her on her 60ft boat, Aviva.
She crossed the line off Les Sables d’Olonne, France, at 1.13pm to take sixth place in the race and complete a feat achieved by only four men – circumnavigating the globe with and against the prevailing currents and winds
The navigation station was the hub of all the activity below deck and where Dee used her electronic weather and sail charts to make all her tactical decisions. Dee used the computers at the navigation station to send pictures, diaries and video footage back to her support team watching her progress.
