B&Q - Support
Here is a basic idea of the support that B&Q was subject to during the
Record Attempt.... http://tinylink.com/?9CEAjpgokv She was monitored 100% of the time..... even sleep patterns were monitored. I can't as yet find a detailed outlay of the vessel's navigational array... but I'm looking. CM |

Arise Dame Ellen (not to mention lieutenant commander)
Paul Kelso Wednesday February 9, 2005 The Guardian Ellen MacArthur was back on land last night, with three new titles to her name - unofficial first lady of the seas, dame and lieutenant commander. By the time she had tied up her trimaran, B&Q, in Falmouth, Cornwall, yesterday lunchtime, she was confirmed as probably the youngest ever dame. MacArthur was also honoured by the Royal Navy, which announced yesterday she had been created an honorary navy officer bearing the title Lieutenant Commander in the Royal Navy Reserve. "She's in the navy now," said navy spokesman Sagar Sharma. Thousands of supporters were on the harbourside at Falmouth to greet her as the world's fastest solo round-the-world sailor. Hundreds more welcomed her home aboard a flotilla of boats that sailed to meet her. Tributes also flowed. Sir Chay Blyth, who sailed around the world non-stop against the prevailing wind in 292 days in 1970-71, said: "What Ellen has done is truly remarkable." Fellow solo sailor Emma Richards, 28, who came fourth in the 2003 Around Alone race, said: "She had already achieved a huge amount but she then took on a challenge that was among the toughest in the world." MacArthur, overwhelmed by her reception, paid tribute to her support team: "There was always a team of people behind me, in mind if not in body." She said she planned to rest before taking on further records. But next on her list could be the transatlantic record. "The record is there and it's something I'll be aiming for," she said. "Capt.
