The voyage

Harder than Antarctica

After Antarctica, Lisa set her sights on an even more difficult challenge: becoming the first woman to sail solo, non-stop and unassisted around Australia. Sailing so close to land meant she could only sleep in 20-minute bursts for almost two months, with reefs, rocks, cyclones and heavy shipping around every corner.

In partnership with d'Albora Marinas, in d'Albora's Action Project: AUS 360, Lisa departed Sydney on 20 October 2018 and sailed more than 6,500 nautical miles, finishing on 17 December 2018 in 58 days, 2 hours, 25 minutes and 39 seconds.

Records set

  • The first woman to sail solo, non-stop and unassisted around Australia

  • The fastest person to sail solo, non-stop and unassisted around Australia

  • The first 100% eco-powered vessel to complete the voyage
