One of My Sailing Heroes

An exuberant Sir Robin Knox-Johnson arrives in Bilbao, Spain completing a historic second singlehanded circumnavigation, this time at the age of 68 in the Velux 5 Oceans Race. In 1969, he became the first person to sail around the world alone non-stop in a 312-day voyage.

His second circumnavigation boat, "Saga Insurance".


His first circumnavigation boat "Suhaili" which he built himself.
