In
February 2001 24-year-old Ellen MacArthur completed the
Vendee Globe, the world's toughest race. As the youngest
person to circumnavigate the globe singlehanded and as the
fastest woman to ever have done so, her achievement was
remarkable. But how had a young woman from landlocked Derbyshire
come to find a new home among the waves? In "Taking on the
World" Ellen tells her story, from saving pennies to buy
her first boat through sailing round Britain as a teenager,
to sailing the Vendee Globe itself. Enthralling and inspiring
in equal measure, it shows how courage, passion and determination
can overcome all obstacles - and how one young woman made
her dreams come true.
