NY skipper Cole Brauer totally crushed her goal and made history … becoming the first U.S. woman to sail solo around the world!
The 29-year-old from Long Island marked the achievement as she sailed into Spain Thursday morning … tearfully reuniting with her family and popping champagne bottles from her trophy to celebrate over 130 days of being out to sea.

Cole’s journey was all part of the Global Solo Challenge … a wild 26,000 nautical mile nonstop race that kicked off from the coast of A Coruña, in northwestern Spain, back in October and circled right back to the same spot.
Throughout the journey, she kept her IG followers in the loop, documenting the ups and downs of the dangerous trip onboard her 40-foot monohull sailboat — and there were loads of times the weather clearly wasn’t in her favor .. but for Cole, it was all part of the adventure!
