Taking on the World
In February 2001 24-year-old Ellen MacArthur completed the Vendee Globe the world's toughest race. As the youngest person to circumnavigate the globe singlehanded and as the fastest woman to ever have done so her achievement was remarkable. But how had a young woman from landlocked Derbyshire come to find a new home among the waves? In "Taking on the World" Ellen tells her story from saving pennies to buy her first boat through sailing round Britain as a teenager to sailing the Vendee Globe itself. Enthralling and inspiring in equal measure it shows how courage passion and determination can overcome all obstacles - and how one young woman made her dreams come true.
