Bruno Peyron
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bruno Peyron is a yachtsman who, along with his crew on the catamaran Orange II, broke the outright round-the-world sailing record in March 2005. Peyron, from the French Atlantic coast city of La Baule, has spent a lifetime perfecting his racing skills. He has been one of the main organisers behind the round-the-world-race The Race.
Orange II is a 38 m (125 ft) catamaran, with a crew of 13, which completed the 27,000-nautical mile circumnavigation in 50 days 16 hours 20 minutes, crossing the finish line near the island of Ouessant off France's west coast at 3:23 a.m. local time on March 16.
