Congratulations to Geoff Poston, Cleveland, OH, who correctly identified the first sailor to sail around the world alone and non-stop. He is Sir Robin Knox Johnston, who won the first Golden Globe Race in his 32-foot, double-ender Suhali in 1968. A lot of readers offered Joshua Slocum as the answer to the question. While Slocum was to the first person to sail alone around the world, he made many stops along the way.
