As of now, only a handful of women have successfully completed solo circumnavigations of the globe by sail. Notable figures include Jeanne Baret, who is often recognized as the first woman to sail around the world in the 18th century as part of a scientific expedition, and more contemporary sailors like Ellen MacArthur and Jessica Watson, who have also made significant solo voyages. The exact number of women who have achieved this feat can vary as new sailors continue to attempt and complete solo circumnavigations.
