[edit]It seems obvious to me that Krystyna Choynowska-Liskiewicz is the rightful holder of the title of first female solo circumnavigator. If we were talking about a speed record, she wouldn't qualify, because a speed record clearly needs a standard start and finish -- which is the English Channel. But you can circumnavigate without going near the channel -- a bloke called Joshua Slocum did that once. As long as Krystyna's route describes at least a great circle, then she has the title in my book. -- Johantheghost 10:11, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
- I've written an article on Krystyna Chojnowska-Liskiewicz (note spelling) which clarifies this, and adjusted this article accordingly. — Johantheghost 15:13, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
One of the rules for sailing around the world is that there are limitations on help from other people. This is wny Naomi James is not the record holder. Someone threw her a rope and her boat was pulled by another in the Falkland Islands where she stopped to repair her rudder/self steering Krystyna I would guess would fail for the same reason. You have to motor or be towed through parts of the Panama canal. If she motored or was towed then she doesn't qualify at all.
