Summary

Description

"French-Italian yachtsman Alessandro Di Benedetto is not like any other skipper. (...) In 2010, he sailed around the world non-stop, solo and without any assistance on a 6.5 meter boat ("Findomestic Banca") – a real cockleshell on the ocean - following the Vendée Globe route. He dismasted just before reaching Cape Horn but still did not give up and built a makeshift mast that allowed him to reach Les Sables d’Olonne after 268 days at sea. That was a world first as the yacht was the smallest to have sailed around the world non-stop via the three capes and without assistance."
