other Great single handed Voyages

Picture

John Sanders

Truly one of the greatest solo sailors of all time  Jon Sanders has set sailing records that have stood unbroken for more than a quarter of a century
In 1981- 1982 Jon Sanders set the record for the furthest distance sailed continuously at sea, 48,510 miles and the longest time spent alone on a sailing voyage, 419 days as he sailed twice around the world in his S&S34
​
​In 1986- 1989 he broke that record sailing 3 times around the world in 47 foot yacht Parry Endeavour.  He spent 658 days and 21 hours alone at sea.

This October he sets sail again on his 10 circumnavigation, what a legend!

David Dicks

IN 1996 David Dicks only just missed out on setting the record as the youngest person to complete an Eastbound Single Handed Non stop Unassisted  Circumnavigation of 265 days aboard his S and S 34 Seaflight
​Jesse Martin was 20 days older than David when he completed his record but because David  received a bolt to repair his rig off the Falkland Island he did not qualify for the unassisted  record.
