François Gabart, who led this crossing for almost all of the seven days, finally finished second with only 7 minutes and 8 seconds behind Francis Joyon. In addition to this incredible finish, Francis Joyon beat the record set by Loïck Peyron in 2014 which was 7 days and 15 hours.

SIMY's My-AIS beacon is a personal sea distress beacon. It is pre-programmed at the factory with a unique MMSI number, the first 3 digits of which are "972". All MMSI numbers that start with 972 are interpreted by AIS receivers as "man overboard" distress.
In the event of an alert detection, the AIS receiver then indicates a red cross, the GPS coordinates of the shipwrecked person and issues an audible alert. The MOB alert is therefore well regarded as a man overboard distress and not as a nearby vessel (collision alert).
