Here,s a photo of Fedor's yatch just after it had crossed the finish line, completing a 14,000km 102day race around the South Pole.
This was the inaugural race, and the organisers are hoping that more entrants will line up next year.
Fedor has circumnavigated (big word!)the world single-handed in a yatch 4 times I think, as well he has climbed Mount Everest and traversed both poles.
Being Russian hasn't stopped him. What a bloke!
His weapon of choice for this race is around 25metres long, weighs 30 tonnes, and has a draught of 5 metres, with a mast 32metres tall. Some yatch!
