In regional Red Button for Liverpool, you mention the round the world yachts setting sale on their round the world journey. You go on to refer to Robin Knox Johnson as being the organiser and the first person to circumnavigate the world single-handed. This is only partly correct. The first person to circumnavigate the world in a boat, was a gentleman called Joshua Slocum during the years 1895 - 1898 - long before Mr Knox Johnson was even born !
