BRUCE SCHWAB. First American EVER to sail solo, non-stop and unassisted around the globe. His boat "Ocean Planet" is the first un-stayed rig to circumnavigate the globe ever. And he did it all without a major sponsor.

You scored the first point - I overlooked that but I should correct that now - could you tell when this happened?
