 Win one of 50 Ellen McArthur's autobiography | Advertisement feature | The Observer
Ellen MacArthur's record breaking solo circumnavigation of the globe has seen her hailed as the 21st century's first true heroine - a modern day Amelia Earhart - while capturing the public's imagination along the way unlike any other sailor before.
A sailing trip with her aunt planted the first seeds of drive and determination in Ellen, and her first boat, an eight foot dinghy named Thr'penny Bit, was the result of eight years' hard-saved lunch money.
Still, Ellen only gave herself a one-in-five chance of success when she set off on her perilous round world record-breaking attempt in November last year, and to up the stakes, the record had been lowered only months earlier to an amazing 72 days.
