Thomas Coville, a French sailor, arrived in Brest, France, after setting a new world record for solo, non-stop circumnavigation in 49 days, 3 hours, 7 minutes, and 38 seconds. He surpassed the previous record by 8 days and 10 hours, held by his compatriot Fancy Joyon since 2008. Coville achieved this feat on his fifth attempt, using a 31-meter long and 21-meter wide trimaran. During the 7-week journey, he slept in short intervals, constantly monitoring sea and weather conditions. The transcript also references Joshua Slocum, the first person to sail solo around the world in 1895, taking three years to complete the journey.
