Sailor to attempt to break world record of fastest Sydney to Auckland trip

Solo sailor Lisa Blair is attempting to break the world record for the fastest time to sail from Sydney to Auckland alone. The current holder of the world record is James Prascevic who completed the trip in just over 12 days. “I’m super stoked to be out here,” she told Sky News Australia. “I’ve been at sea for just a little over an hour now. “It’s just me on the ocean and hopefully eight days at sea.”
