James Naomi (w2082)

  • Description: Naomi James made history in 1978 when she became the first woman to single-handedly sail around the world via the Cape Horn route. Setting off from Dartmouth, England, she completed her remarkable journey in 272 days aboard her 53-foot yacht, "Express Crusader." James' voyage was not just a testament to her sailing prowess but also broke the previous record for the fastest solo circumnavigation by a woman. Her achievement was a significant milestone in maritime history, inspiring countless other female sailors to undertake similar challenges. James' journey is documented in her book "Alone Around the World," which details the trials, tribulations, and triumphs she faced during her groundbreaking voyage
