Except he took over 3 years and stopped all over the world, don't be the sour grape. A lot of people has sailed around the world, not many do it in one go and with such speed.

Are you REALLY LIVING IN AUSTRALIA??

Then why you never heard of this girl??

Jessica Watson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jessica Watson, 15 years old Australian Girl sail around the world non-stop unassisted for 210 days??

Aussie did that, and she was 15 then (now 20)

It's a great achievement. But was there anyone other than his family, immediate friends, and TV cameras to welcome him?

Actually, it is the Chinese members here who are sour grapes when they learned that others have done it BEFORE. You talk as if Guo Chuan did it without assistance from others and without learning from those who did before him.

I have no doubt that when China does land an astronaut on the Moon, China will spin it so that China is the first to land on the Moon.

You are the most sour grape here.The record is about speed, not about firsts. Stop making yourself look like a fool.

Actually, I said nothing about Guo Chuan. No negative comments about what he did. I even told a fellow American to leave you guys alone.

And what of your moon landing statement? Such hypocrisy! And take down the USA flag boy, everybody knows you are a Viet

And what of your moon landing statement? Such hypocrisy!

That was after someone responded to me.

I love white people.

Good to know. Guess that is why you live among them.

 

[Genesis]

sometimes I wonder, is english still the first language of America? I know most don't like to read, but reading 2 paragraphs is not that hard is it.

It clearly says what record this is, and yet you guys post others who did the voyage.

This is like because someone ran a world record in 100 meters, and someone else ran a record in 400 meters and that 400 meters isn't a record, cause someone already has one in 100 meters.

Gentlemen, why raise a storm in a tea cup.
BTW I must say it is a cool looking rig.
Solo sailing is never easy, I am glad that he came home safe.
