Just seen a website on Earthrace, which is a currently attempting to beat the 75 day motorboat circumnavigation record via the Suez and Panama canals. I seem to remember Day Mellon did it the hard way via the Southern Ocean in less than 72 days without an engine. Earthrace may run on biodiesel, but will burn thousands of gallons of it, so its not very environmentally friendly, as well as probably being slower than sail.
