Second solo circumnav[edit]

Are these two sentences describing the same event? If so, was it 2006 or 2007?...

"In 2006 he became at 67 the oldest yachtsman to complete a round the world solo voyage in the VELUX 5 Oceans Race." (lead section).

"He completed his second solo circumnavigation of the world in the yacht SAGA Insurance on 4 May 2007, finishing in 4th place in the VELUX 5 Oceans Race." (Further exploits). Mike Spathaky (talk) 13:46, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's 2007. I have changed the lead section. Mike Spathaky (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:01, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
