Thomas Coville has improved the solo multihull record previously held by Francis Joyon by more than eight days! The new record is 49 days, 3 hours, 7 minutes and 38 seconds (yet to be ratified). The record was set on Coville's latest trimaran Sodebo Ultime. Sodebo Ultime was built reusing some parts of the Original Geronimo the original crossbeams reused and strengthened combined with new fronts on the floats and a completely new main hull.
