I'm not sure what the big deal is. Her brother stopped at many ports on his solo sail around the world.

“Nonstop” is the operative word. That’s what she was shooting for. The headline makes her sound like a failure.

She was looking to go “nonstop.” That’s the difference. I’d think that Zach had a whole lot more fun and adventure, stopping here and there in various countries ...

That's the big deal. Sailing around the world stopping at many ports (maybe 300 voyages) for R&R&R (Rest, Recreation, Repair) can be no more that a lot of short cruises added together.

Sailing non-stop, unassisted is an exteme test of crew and equipment for 3 months to a year of continous sailing 24/7. Probably less than 60 voyages, most with multimillion dollar budgets. Doing it on less than a tenth of that cost - so far only 13.95 voyages completed
