The smallest wind-powered boat to circumnavigate the globe is Acrohc Australis, which measured 3.60 m (11 ft 9 in) and was captained by Serge Testa (Australia), from 9 June 1984 to 16 May 1987.

Testa's journey started and ended in Brisbane, Australia, via the Panama canal. The self-designed boat was structured so that all controls could be operated from inside, allowing the captain to close the hatch in bad weather conditions.
