Ellen MacArthur's Transatlantic Record Attempt

Ellen MacArthur, skipper of the new 75-foot trimaran B&Q, is currently attempting to set a new west-east solo transatlantic record from Ambrose Light off New York to the Lizard Point off the south-west coast of England. The current record stands at just 7 days, 2 hours, 34 minutes, 42 seconds set by Frenchman Laurent Bourgnon in June 1994 on board his 60-foot trimaran, Primagaz. The B&Q trimaran will have to cross the finish line off Lizard Point by 00:44:42hrs GMT on Tuesday 29th June 2004 to secure a new record for this distance.
