I think the previous record only lasted about 48 hours 
What was the equivalent for the Volvo 70’s ?

596.6 was the best by a Volvo 70.
So still a bit more… Suspect that it’s more about how hard you could push in heavy air, but also suspect an IMOCA would be faster round the world as it would be faster in moderate conditions.
