Ellen MacArthur, already the youngest person and the fastest woman to
sail around the world alone, has become the fastest sailor to complete a
solo non-stop circumnavigation of the globe.

When Francis Joyon took 72 days, 22 hours, 54 minutes and 22 seconds to
sail around the world last year, he was the first to do it in a
trimaran.

It was generally expected his record would stand for at least 10 years.

Now the 28-year-old MacArthur from the landlocked English county of
Derbyshire has re-written the record books with her mark of 71 days, 14
hours, 18 minutes and 35 seconds.

Damn good job then.

Three huzzahs for the lady.

I bet she still takes forever to put on her makeup. :-)

I'll bet she doesn't wear any.

And has a girlfriend named Petra.

From Sweden.

......who looks like she could deck your horse, backhand? :-)
