Here are the highlights in the sport of Sailing in the last seven days.

The Gitana Racing Team’s huge Trimaran Edmund de Rothschild is poised to hopefully break the time for the Trophy Jules Verne, around the world fastest time, on standby from November One.

This figure has been on everyone’s minds for many months now; 40 days (23 hours and 30 minutes), is the exact time to beat, if the crew of the Maxi, Edmond de Rothschild, is to topple Francis Joyon and IDEC Sport, the current Jules Verne record holders.

Indeed, from the 1st November, it will be all systems go to take on the challenge of the round the world record under sail, which the skippers of the latest addition to the Gitana fleet describe simply as the outright round the world.

This edition of the Vondee Globe has a good representation of female skippers.
