Her first name is Ellen; ‘Dame’ is a special title she received for her outstanding achievements from the British Queen. On 7 February 2005, she broke the world record for being the fastest person to sail around the world. Ellen now heads the crews of Britain’s top sailing teams. She became interested in sailing after she read the ‘Swallows and Amazons’ books by Arthur Ransome. Her first experience of yachting was on her aunt’s boat on the east coast of England. She instantly fell in love with sailing and the sea. She decided to become a sailor and saved her school dinner money to buy her first boat. In 1998, aged 22, she was named the Royal Yachting Association "Yachtsman of The Year" in the UK. This encouraged her to go for the big time. In 2001, she came second in the Vendée Globe solo round- the-world race. For this, she got her first honour from Britain’s Queen. She got her second award for breaking the solo circumnavigation of the world. She has used her fame to start her own charity to help young people with cancer and other serious illnesses.

  • Techniques & Tactics for Singlehanded Sailing Thoughts, Tips
    Thoughts, Tips, Techniques & Tactics For Singlehanded Sailing Andrew Evans ThirdThird EditionEdition Foreword by Bruce Schwab This book is only available as a free download from The Singlehanded Sailing Society at www.sfbaysss.org/tipsbook Front and back covers by Andrew Madding, club photographer for the Royal Victoria Yacht Club. The front cover represents everything it means to be a singlehanded sailor: High winds (two reefs in the main and a storm jib lashed on the bow) the tiller under my knee with the spin sheet in one hand – bracing myself with the other. The back cover represents everything else it means to be a singlehanded sailor: the afternoon nap. Foreword I met Andy when he came to help out my preparations on Ocean Planet for the 2004-2005 Vendee Globe. A nice guy and good sense of humor; after all he's Canadian. In many ways he represents all those who have become successful solo sailors on their own nickel; learning slowly from a mix of hard-earned experience, digging up obscure info, and sharing with each other. It's not like this sort of experience is falling off trees. While a lot of jabber about singlehanded sailing can be found on discussion forums and the odd magazine articles, this is the first collection of the varied aspects of the sport put together in one place. It takes thousands of hours of sailing to get the kind of knowledge contained in this book. It also takes a lot of experimentation and a willingness to be wrong nine times before getting it right on the tenth.
