Passage 1 (2p):
In February 2001, at the age of 24, Ellen MacArthur became the youngest and fastest ever
woman to sail round the world. After 94 days alone on board yacht Kingfisher, she finished
second to Michel Desjoyaux of France in the single-handed Vendee Globe event.
In sport, like life, the winner is usually fetched, and runners-up quickly forgotten. This time the
roles were reversed and it was Ellen, weighing just 50 kilos and barely 1m 60 tall, that really
captured people's imaginations and emotions. One newspaper in France, where she was and is a
real heroine, summed up the national mood there with the headline "Well done, Michel, bravo
Ellen".
As with many spectacular achievers, the signs were there from an early age, even in the
unpromising nautical terrain of landlocked Derbyshire. Her great-grandparents were sailing
people and a great-uncle was a merchant seaman, but any real link with the sea is tenuous. There
was, however, an Auntie Thea who lived on the east coast of England and had a 26-foot sailing
boat called Cabaret. It took just one trip on the open sea with her aunt to spark off Ellen's
lifelong passion. She was eight years old. After that she began saving her pocket money and
spent all her spare time reading sailing books in the library, absorbing information like a sponge.
With her savings and the help of her grandmother she bought an 8-foot fiberglass dinghy, and
from that moment on there was no keeping her away from the water.
Sailing around Britain single-handed at the age of 18 was just the start; Ellen had long since set
her sights on the Vendee. But finding the money to undertake round-the-world voyages is no
easy feat. She wrote 2,000 letters requesting sponsorship and received just two replies, one,
happily, from the Kingfisher company who were looking to expand into France. And in terms of
race preparation, if thoroughness was the key of success, Ellen could certainly be considered one
of the favourites. In the eight months leading up to the start of the race, she sailed no fewer than
