On 16 February 2009, former PE teacher Dee Caffari (UK) made history when she finished the Vendée Globe round-the-world yacht race in 6th place. This achievement means that Dee is the first woman – and only the 4th person ever – to sail both ways around the world, alone and unaided. The first part of her double world first was achieved between November 2005 and May 2006, when she became the first solo woman to circumnavigate westwards non-stop.
