# Bravo François!

Frenchman François Gabart [smashed the world record for the fastest non-stop solo navigation of the globe](http://www.france24.com/en/20171217-frenchman-francois-gabart-smashes-solo-around-world-sailing-record), completing the mammoth feat in 42 days, 16 hours, 40 minutes and 35 seconds, beating the previous record by 6 days and 10 hours!

We at **SAIL**MON are very proud Gabart uses **SAIL**MON displays on board of his maxi-trimaran [MACIF](http://www.sailmon.com/our-references/macif/), one of the most technically advanced yachts on the market. The 30-meter (98-foot) boat boasts a larger sail area and a wider frame, which helps with navigating lighter winds, reported sailing magazine Yachting World.
