30 days into the nonstop single handed around the world Vendee Globe race and Francois Gabart  has set a new 24 hour speed/distance record of 545.3 miles. The outright record for a monohull set by a Volvo 70, a fully crewed boat is 596 miles. While it is still early in the race at this pace these 60 foot boats may finish below the 80 day mark. The world is indeed getting smaller. Below are the records recognized by the World Sailing Speed Record Council.
