On Wednesday April 11, 2007, after 185 days, Alain Maignan completed his non-stop solo odyssey around the world. This modest letter carrier from Ille-et-Vilaine completed his round-the-world voyage aboard a pleasure boat, a Sun Rise from the Jeanneau shipyard, a 10.20 m production yacht built in 1986! A real feat, since the sailor’s ultimate goal was to get back to work in time to deliver his mail from him.
