Epic Story: Ellen McArther races ahead

The mammoth efforts of Ellen McArther are worth following even if you are not interested in sailing . She is sailing B&Q, a 23m (75ft) Trimaran, solo around the world in an attempt to beat the current record set by French sailor, Francis Joyon, on board 90-foot multihull IDEC in February 2004.

As I write she is 4 days 2 hours 45 minutes ahead of the current record after sailing 19,187 miles
at 17.6 Knot (32.59km/h or 20.25mph) Average speed with 6,985 miles to the finish.
