Sailing-Frenchman Gabart sets new round-the-world record

The time beat the previous record set last year by his compatriot Thomas Coville by more than six days.

On his trimaran Macif, Gabart crossed the finish line at 0145GMT in Ouessant, off France's western coast. “It’s crazy, quite surreal, I’m stunned,” said the 34-year-old, who began his journey on Nov. 4. (Reporting by Julien Pretot, editing by Ed Osmond)
