DYK

[edit]

Calling TRM - Hi, seeing it was your work on Laureus that set the ball rolling for this article and seeing you'll probably check it once it's in prep/queue anyway, before I begin a template, any suggestions re DYK nom? I've got a few days up my sleeve if you're too busy at moment. I'm thinking:

  • ... that... the Australian around-the-world yachtsman, Vinny Lauwers circumnavigated solo with his mistress?

Source: ref (reviewer, pls click on "Show" beneath the photo.) Hook is derived from Lauwers' Laureus Awards acceptance speech. He is referring to his yacht as his mistress: "... I’m probably the luckiest man in this room because she said I’m allowed one mistress, and she’s 48 foot long, 15 foot wide and has all the right curves."

Is "around-the-world" and "circumnavigated" too much? Any tweaks or other suggestions will be appreciated. JennyOz (talk) 13:13, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
