Dame Ellen MacArthur

B&QTelegraph | Sport | Nothing in the world like this sailing dame Ellen MacArthur, who recently set an around-the-world, single-handed sailing record received her damehood this week from the Queen of England. Ellen is viewed as a cross between, "Joan of Arc and Lord Admiral Horatio Nelson," in England.

After sailing for 71 days, 14 hours and 18 minutes in her record-setting race, she will sail a much shorter race this week - only 280 miles.
