Robin Knox-Johnston: Do you realise that both Armel [Le Cléac’h] and Alex [Thomson] finished their circumnavigations faster by hours than Peter Blake and I did on Enza when we won the Jules Verne Trophee in 1994 ? It just shows how boats have developed in 23 years.

Loïck Peyron: Yes indeed. Impressive as what Thomas Coville did few weeks ago.
