"American Sailor Cole Brauer Makes History with Solo Nonstop World Race"
Cole Brauer, a 29-year-old from New York, has become the first American woman to complete a solo sail around the world as part of the Global Solo Challenge race, finishing second out of 16 competitors. Weighing just 100 pounds and standing at 5 foot 2 inches, she endured a 30,000-mile journey in her 40-foot racing yacht, facing 30-foot waves, a rib injury, and dehydration. With fewer than 200 people having completed this feat, Brauer's accomplishment is a remarkable one in the world of sailing.
