Dee Caffari (GBR)made history on 16th February when she became the first woman to sail around twice around the world in different directions, both against and now with the prevailing winds and currents. While her achievement of 2005 was impressive in itself, finishing sixth in this epic Vendee Globe race on 16th February, crossing the finish line at 13h 12' 57" GMT dwarves that feat, considering her first solo race in an Open 60 was only in November 2007.
