This premier one-design class-six former world champions took nearly a year to prepare for this race.

The fast times of Ellen

Article Abstract:

Distance racer Ellen MacArthur's meteoric rise to fame started in 1998 when she won the Route du Rhum race in an Open 50 at the age of 21. Ellen knows the stakes are high in offshore multi-hull sailing, and is preparing to return to solo sailing in a new Open 60 trimaran that she hopes will produce higher average speeds than a catamaran in a wide range of conditions.
