This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. No QPQ needed for this nomination. Good for the quirky spot I would have thought. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 16:58, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

- Alt2 ... that the Australian yachtsman Vinny Lauwers, circumnavigated the globe solo with his mistress? Philafrenzy (talk) 20:42, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this – actually, preferring Philafrenzy's ALT2, but think that "mistress" should be put in quotes. Otherwise, this might be better for April Fools Day. Yoninah (talk) 14:29, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- Now I think of it, "mistress" is a little problematical all round. Philafrenzy (talk) 14:37, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- Philafrenzy if it's in quotes, what's the problem? Yoninah (talk) 17:49, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- I see it's his wording for his boat, so possibly none. However, it's one thing for him to joke about it and us to explain it in the article, it's another thing for us to say on the front page that a man went around the world with his mistress, even if it is in quotes. Perhaps I am worrying unnecessarily? Philafrenzy (talk) 19:21, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Philafrenzy: I think all the finger-pointing over at WT:DYK is making everyone second-guess themselves. The hook is a great quirky. Restoring tick per Cwmhiraeth's review. Yoninah (talk) 23:02, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
