Taking On the World (CD) by Ellen Macarthur
In finishing yachting's toughest race, the Vendee Globe, Ellen MacArthur became the youngest person ever to complete the race and the fastest woman ever to circumnavigate the globe. The scenes that greeted her arrival were extraordinary; hundredsof thousands of people lined the waterfront in France to cheer La Petite Anglaise. This is her story so far. Dramatic and and deeply affecting, it will move and inspire all who read it.
Inspired as an 8-year-old by a sailing trip with her aunt, Ellen MacArthur saved her school dinner money for three years to buy her first boat. She went on to win the Young Sailor of the Year award aged 18. Three years later she won the 1998 Sailor of the Year award after winning a single-handed trans-Atlantic race. Ellen is from Whatstandwell in Derbyshire.
