But going through the Panama Canal would not count  as solo unassisted
non-stop circumnavigation!  All the Imocas in the Vandee Globe who got
to Cape Horn look like they will finish now. Quite a few failed
earlier.  It seems the Horn is no longer the insurmountable challenge
it used to be, perhaps with modern weather routing.

Bill King, another Irish single handed circumnavigator, did get
demasted around the Horn one of his attempts.
