The 125-foot sailing maxi-catamaran Cheyenne ex Play Station may be
converted for an assault on the world record for a circumnavigation
under power.

Cheyenne's owner, Steve Fossett, is first planning to become the
deepest man on earth. For more details, go

The current record holder is Jock Wishart who went around in Cable &
Wireless Adventurer, 115-foot trimaran, in 74 days 20 hours 58
minutes, at an average speed of 16.5 knots.
