Ellen MacArthur 416 p, paperback, 21x13 cm
In February 2001, 24 year old Ellen MacArthur completed the Vendee Globe, the world's toughest race. As the youngest Briton 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 up to buy her first boat, through sailing around Britain as a teenager, to racing 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.
'Painfully honest, passionate, fascinating. Just like her racing, she cannot do things by half and her writing is no exception.' The Times
'The first true heroine of the 21st century.' Observer
