THIS is what we should be showcasing on the news - all the amazing people overcoming incredible odds to achieve their dreams and inspire the world around them!
You’re absolutely right! (Btw, thanks for introducing me to so many incredible artists.)
No big deal. Sailboats and the technology that hundreds of men have invented - from GPS to radios, Starlink, autopilot etc, tested and manufactured by brave men over the years, have made sailing so simple even us women can now sit on a sailboat and let it steer across the world. Funny to see middle aged women pretend like it is some great accomplishment. Just wait for a woman to sit in a self-driving tesla on a "record" drive across the country or world. Stupid "record".
Well said!
@Coleen_West Doesn’t sound like you have done much sailing.
Hahahaha you wouldn’t last a day!
I lost my mother last year at 90. She experienced the women’s movement. On behalf of her, my great wife, my daughter… we thank you! As a guy who gets scared in 20-knots on our Corsair F24, I say “wow”. We loved your story. Be safe Cole… all you adventurers out there be safe!
She is my shero!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉 been watching her since Dec on insta and she has inspired me in so many ways. ❤❤ The strength - physical, mental and emotional- so incredible. What an amazing young woman.

@@Coleen_West not sure who you are or what you do look at all the men that dropped out do not make light of or downgrade this amazing feat. Maybe you’re some super athlete who is conquered at all climbed. Everest swam the English Channel kayak around the world, but I doubt it so quit bashing other people that have done amazing things !
@@ericargento4429 ..Let me explain it clearly so even you can understand it. At some point even us women get sick of this sort of women are heroes nonsense and want to tell the truth. Look, my sister got on a Boeing 777 and flew business class around the world but that "record" doesn't make her Amelia Earhart (look her up if you don't get the reference). The point is that these records are not meaningful anymore as men have made all forms of transport super easy and convenient and very very soon it will be all self-driving computer stuff. After about the 1970s these "sit and ride" events stopped be an accomplishment (except to the builders) - yes there is still some limited risks and you might barf a few times. But today it is simply a function of funding, sitting and dealing with boredom (most of the time she was sleeping) - with enough money you could put a puppy in a yacht and power it across the globe. A big nothing burger. Women are standing on the shoulders of the innovation and ingenuity of real hero - the men that came before them and invented everything from fiberglass, GPS, computers, satellite internet communication systems and paved the waves. If she wants to claim a real record, let her jump in a 1930s sailboat without any tech or anything not in existence in 1930 and see her do it. Zero chance of success.
I'm sure the strength of the winner, Mr. Phillipe Delamare is also incredible. And I am sure he is your hero above all because he won.
Donna Lange has sailed her 28-foot Southern Cross twice around the world, her last sail a few years ago was nonstop in 330 days.
Kudos to her for completing the circumnavigation and coming in second.
But I was sorry to hear there was no mention of Kirsten Neuschäfer, who WON the Golden Globe, circumnavigating without stopping and using traditional (not GPS) sailing methods.
My first thoughts too! Kirsten should have at least been mentioned!
INCREDIBLE ACCOMPLISHMENT!!! Watched her journey throughout. Truly amazing!!!!!!!

Surely you’re just joking and not being disrespectful and rude right? Oh wait, I’m sure everyone could hop on and do exactly what she did right? Oh wait, most of the competitors dropped out too and couldn’t hang. Hmmm no big deal…
@@lisakruse8848 ,,,actually not joking at all.

You GO girl ! ⛵
Awesome accomplishment !!!! 👏 👍
58 knots omg. Truly amazing. America’s cup coming soon for her.🫶🏻
Outstanding, mad respect :)
These kind of stories eclipse anything that's happening in the political world. Amazing achievement made by ordinary people every day should be broadcast to the world. Very inspirational.
What a trooper. Congrats on your wonderful achievement 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hard core! Well done sister!
Congratulations Cole!!
Well done to her.
I’ve done a lot of solo sailing across the oceans. I can’t tell you how unbelievably tough a person has to be mentally and physically.
Oh wow. She is amazing.
Jessica Watson, Pip Hare, Kristen Neuschafer, Ellen MacAurther, Laura Decker to name a few....you are joining a group of sea queens who have been killing it in sailing!
Not to mention one of the GOAT women sailors Tania Aebi!!!
And Jeanne Socrates, oldest person to sail solo non-stop unassisted RTW via all five capes, now doing is the easy way at age 81!@@symphonyfarm2009
Girls ROCK. Congratulations
TROPPO BRAVA, complimentissimi !!!!!
Amazing achievement. I can't imagine how scary it is to do this for any regular person, or even her.
Wow 😮 !
Its an understatement but she's awesome.
It raises the profile of sailing in the USA, as ocean sailing is treated as an elite sport for billionaires, re the americas cup, European women have done this ad nauseum and set records, in groups and as solo sailors. Great job Carole! Enjoy you new reality and beam with hard earned pride.
Congratulations 🎉
Congrats Cole Brauer from the East End of Long Island!
Great story.
Wow!
❤️ wow
BUT, She's a WARRIOR in the end! Congrats!
The world IS round! Er ma gerd! Well done!
Mr. Philippe Delamare won the race. What a man!
Beyond amazing Welcome back to terra firma
COLE... ENHORABUENA! Me alegro de haberte visto en Froid en Portonovo. FELIZ viaje de regreso... prudencia por favor en esa inmensidad azul, pues el don de LA VIDA es la mas hermosa aventura y no hay Emoción o hazaña que la pueda igualar Con DIOS.
Joshua Slocum would be proud.
Girls can do it too. Congratulations fantaastic job WOW.
I remember when we celebrated first place finishes.
Congrats to Mr. Philippe Delamare.
Please tell us what town on Long Island she's from. It's a big place. And so many proud little towns. She's our SHERO❤
Born in Springs, schooled in East Hampton.
Inspirational courage and skill.

@@Coleen_West Insightful perspective. However, the countless technical problems that can arise from broken technologies still requires courage and skill to survive traversing the oceans solo. Even with current technologies, many seasoned sailors today still wouldn’t accept or be able to endure the challenge. But I agree with your historical perspective on sailing. Compared to the accomplishments of ancient sailors, Cole's achievement feels much more comfortable and safe.
@@stryngh ..agreed. The fawning over this "accomplishment" is sickining. .. few bother with this type of "accomplishment" since it has been rendered meaningless. Few people are out there driving cars across the world as it is a pointless exercise as anyone can do it if you have the time. Heck, Tesla will soon let you sit and sleep as it self-drives across the world. Whatever. The reason these events were important 100 years ago was because it was a genuine challenge back then. People died regularly trying to sail the world, climb the mountains, drive across the desert etc. Now they cross it in air conditioning while listening to sat radio. Heck, even a girl could do it. So let's all get over it already. Go do something meaningful like cure breast cancer. But women won't accomplish that either- some super smart man will. It's the way of the world and it is time to acknowledge the truth and who actually contributes most and drives things forward. Women doing or reinventing what men already invented or accomplished, is not an accomplishment at all. It's sad actually. Watching so-called "men" fawn over it is nauseating.
Any mention of the guy that finished first?
Cool Bravery of Cole Brauer demands Brand new Celebrations for starting a new legacy.
Not wanting to detract from Brauer's huge achievement, but for some historical context the first woman to sail around the world solo was Naomi James from New Zealand, and she did it in 1978. It took ten months. She had no satellite communications, used a sextant to navigate by, and her sailing equipment was primitive by todays standards.
Yes, and what about Kirsten Neuschafer, she WON the 2022 Golden globe race (circumnavigating without stops), also using no satellite or GPS, Sailing like it's 1968!
They made it pretty clear at the beginning that she is the first *American* woman to do it *solo and nonstop* (and in a race). Ellen MacArthur wasn’t the first either, or even the first British woman, but she was still rightfully celebrated.
And as a fellow Long Islander, it absolutely blows my mind to think the American Ellen MacArthur was a year behind me at Springs School. Bravo Cole.
💙
What an amazing job she did hats off to her. She’s a hero for millions Laura Decker was the youngest female around the world
Hardly a mention this was a race with other competitors.
There was a 16 year old Australian girl who sailed around the world about a decade ago.
This only a first for the US not a world first.
4 months of freeze dried meals. Medal for that.
Amazing achievement as struggle to do RTW on Clipper with 16 crewmates 😅Respect
Any of the sailors run into the aggressive Orca pod off the Portuguese coast?
“I should be in schoooooo... how dare you”! (Oh wait, wrong girl)
I currently hold the world's record for taking the longest to circumnavigate single-handed. . . . I haven't even left yet!
I officially need Cole Bauer to become a super swimsuit model for the rest of her life!
Sailing around the world single handed is one thing, Doing it as a race as fast as possible adds so much stress and danger to the trip.
Jessica Watson was the First Lady to sail solo round the world
@4:51 Oh here we go! You lost me Cole and my daughters are rolling their eyes at this comment.
They didn't have a separate prize amount if a woman had won. It was the same for men and women. And Mr. Phillipe Delamare won.
Dozens of women have done a solo lap - heard of the Vendee Globe race’s history - Dee Cafari or Pip Hare spring to mind.
Not taking away from her achievement though!

I may be mistaken, but pretty sure only 18 women non stop. And the first American woman to do so. Huge fan of the others who have, most notably Kirsten Neuschaffer (sp?)
Yeah I think Sam Davies has done it both ways around solo as well!
Powerhouse Cole Brauer IS BIG ENOUGH, MORE THAN BIG ENOUGH, for the Southern Ocean!
Lucky she survived IMHO ! Kinda nuts in my view
I would like to know how this was financed ??? Those boats are quite expensive to say nothing of the costs to prepare them for an adventure like that ???
Sailing around the world isn't or doesn't have to be all that dangerous, but sailing around the world in a race, that's another thing entirely... you don't have the luxury of timing your passages with the weather, that's when it becomes dangerous!
Nature can be scary but people are waaaaay SCARIER. I have a sailboat ⛵️ and have been through life threatening storms but none of that compares to EVIL people are capable of. I would rather be in a storm any day than with a bad person.
Definition: Sailing: Extreme boredom, followed by sheer moments of Terror.
Way to go Cole. You are a hero! Too bad you had to be interviewed by the very reprehensible Guthrie. She’s a complete tool
@1:55 Who exactly is "excluding" anyone from this sport? Stop it with this line of bullcrap.
Look up Grant Dalton. And pineapples.
@@zoepaulastrassfield2664 He made a joke and that "excluded" women from the sport? No it didn't.
Congratulations.
Americans are much more conservative than French, who did such trips for decades.
Wonderful. You made it. Now for a warm shower...
How did she give herself her own IV? I thought you had to have a medical license to even purchase those bags.
Today show and its hosts Can pay her! 😂😂😁
Who opened doors for her and jar lids too tight? 😆
Why make this about gender? It's 2024. Congrats, Cole!
Laura Decker…..
Solo…..
She is NOT the first woman to sail around the world non-stop. Kirsten Neuschafer was and did it in a much older boat. GET IT CORRECT Today.
She was the first American woman and most outlets have been clear about that.
She isn’t the first…..maybe American because there is an Australian girl who sailed solo Circumventing the Earth…..
It seems that when someone NEW does something people forget who the Original FIRST person is……
Sail boats arent yaughts with auto pilot.
You couldn’t just celibate that this person sailed around the world.
We always have to make it a celebration of gender or ethnicity.
When we learn to celebrate an individual’s accomplishment we can stop looking for a story that is not the story.
The story is a local sailed around the world
JESSICA WATSON !
Do a GOOGLE SEARCH….
Too much free time on her hand.
Drop the "inclusive" bs. Sailing is for a select group that chooses to take it on. This type of sailing is only for the very best, without regard to gender, color or inclusivity.
Republicans are wondering how she sailed around the ice wall or whatever flat-earthers believe idk
