Sodebo Ultim 3 Trimaran - Jules Verne Sailing Trophy 2026

The fastest sailing circumnavigation in history. 40 days, 10 hours, 45 minutes. ▫️ Sodebo Ultim 3 left Ushant on 15 December 2025 with seven crew aboard and took the Jules Verne Trophy on 25 January 2026, beating Francis Joyon's IDEC Sport time by 12 hours and 44 minutes. The record had stood for nine years. ▫️ 28,315 nautical miles. An average of 27.17 knots. More than twenty gybes across an Indian Ocean that Joyon crossed on a single tack in 2017, a record run to Cape Leeuwin at the halfway mark, a comeback through the Pacific at 35 knots, and a final week in Storm Ingrid with 50 knots and nine-metre seas that cost them the 40-day barrier. ▫️ #sailing #offshoresailing #julesvernetrophy #ultim #trimaran @sodebovoile
