73-yr-old wins round-the-world sailing race after 212 days at sea
French sailor Jean-Luc Van Den Heede on Tuesday won the round-the-world yacht race after 212 days alone at sea without modern instruments. The 73-year-old, who completed his sixth circumnavigation of the globe, became the oldest to complete the 30,000-mile Golden Globe race. Of the 19 sailors who started out last July, only five were still in the race on Tuesday.
