  1. Wow, that boat is tiny! Not the best one to be in during bad weather I presume? But hey, that wicked boat got you across the globe so my sincerest salutations to you and your boat.

  2. The smallest boat to circumnavigate was Serga Testa's Acroc Austrailis at 11'-10". Alessandro did his circumnavigation in a much larger boat at 21'. Alessandro did a non stop circumnavigation. Non stop in a 21' is quite a feat however it is not the smallest to circumnavigate, quite a big difference.
