Sir Robin Knox-Johnston on Friday 4 May 2007, completed his second solo circumnavigation of the globe aboard 'Saga Insurance'. Participating in the Velux 5 Oceans yacht race, he concludes the 30,000-mile epic race 37 years after his pioneering solo voyage in 1968/9. At the age of sixty-eight and now a grandfather of five, Sir Robin has halved the time it took him to complete the journey when he was just thirty years old. His 2006/7 voyage has taken 159 days (159 days, 12 hours and 42 minutes) compared to 313 days in 1969. Crossing the finish line off Bilbao, Spain, at 11:22:03 local time (10:22:03 BST) Sir Robin, who is the oldest skipper in the race, takes third place on the 3,200 nautical mile final leg from Norfolk, Virginia.
