SIR FRANCIS CHICHESTER
Sir Francis Chichester, in full Sir Francis Charles Chichester, (born September 17, 1901,
Barnstaple, Devon, England-died August 26, 1972, Plymouth, Devon), adventurer who in
1966-67 sailed around the world alone in a 55-foot sailing yacht, the Gipsy Moth IV.
As a young man he worked in New Zealand as a miner, salesman, and land agent. Back in England
in 1929, in December he began a solo flight to Australia. In 1931, having fitted a biplane with
floats, he made the first east-west flight across the Tasman Sea from New Zealand to Australia. A
plan to circumnavigate the globe by air ended in a crash in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan, in which
he was badly injured.
