<p>Yvan Bourgnon never ceases to surprise us. After his singlehanded round the world trip in a sport cat, then the Northwest Passage singlehanded, without assistance and again in a sport cat – 7,500 km among the ice and polar bears in 70 days on the most inhospitable seas on the planet - Yvan has just made his new challenge official. And it is enormous, as it concerns the last big record that no one has yet succeeded in adding to their list: round the world in a multihull via the three Capes ‘the wrong way’, against the winds and the current. A huge challenge, which he is going to attempt aboard the former IDEC, with which Francis Joyon beat 9 records, and which is now in San Francisco after having been sold to the Chinese skipper, Guo Chuan.</p>
<p>The departure is scheduled for the end of 2019, and although the skipper's aim remains above all to succeed in this 'first’, the idea is to complete the circumnavigation against the winds and currents in…under 100 days!</p>
<p>An exciting challenge which you will of course be able to follow in Multihulls World, as well as on Yvan’s website…</p>
