Ellen was the fastest and youngest indiviual to sail round the globe. But unfortunately someone named Francis beat the record in 2008. She also started up her own trust for children with cancer. She really is an amazing woman.
Ellen MacArthur decided to sail around the world to fulfill her lifelong dream of adventure and exploration. She aimed to challenge herself and push the limits of her sailing abilities, particularly in solo racing. Her journey was also motivated by a desire to raise awareness about environmental issues, particularly related to plastic pollution in the oceans, after witnessing the impact of human activity on the marine environment during her travels.
She hasn't died!
