A yachtswoman is to attempt to become the first woman to sail solo non-stop
the "wrong way" around the world.
Dee Caffari, 32, will set off from Portsmouth on 20 November on the trip
against prevailing winds and currents.

Ms Caffari, from Southampton, expects her circumnavigation to last between
150 and 160 days.

By contrast, in February Dame Ellen MacArthur completed a round-the-world
journey in the conventional direction in under 72 days.
