First Hungarian sailor around the world by sailingboat -31 foot crusing boat - around the capes, west to east.
Nandor Fa built the sailingboat to make this trip with his friend, after he couldn't participate the Olimpic games in Los Angeles - even he was the top elected Fin sailor - he was unable to because of the Soviet bycott against the LA Olympic games.
During the trip he was listening to the radio and realized there is an exiting race, named BOC Challenge - meantime they were sailing, started to draw his ideas about a 60 foot racing boat.
After he arrived back of the 2 years sailing trip to Hungary - the 2 friend became really heros with their freedom-philosophie,
NANDOR has written his book " 700 days of St Jupát" - became a really bestseller in Hungary.
