Ellen Macarthur
Leading sports women talks about her book

Earlier this year Ellen MacArthur became the fastest person ever to sail around the world. For 71 days and 14 hours, she lived in a cabin less than 5ft wide, snatching 20 minutes of sleep here and there, at an average of three hours a day. Her new book Race Against Time documents her quest.

She joins Jenni to talk about her forthcoming sailing tour of Asia and that Dead Ringers impression. 

Race Against Time by Ellen MacArthur, published byMichael Joseph Ltd - ISBN: 0718147405
