MacArthur plans more records

ELLEN MacArthur will now take at least a month off to recover before she and her team start preparing to capture a host of other nautical records.

And after the non-stop solo round the world triumph, Ellen will be much closer to home for one challenge she is expected to attempt the record for sailing around Britain and Ireland.

The current holder, fellow Brit Peter Keig, completed the record in 18 days, 13 hours, 59 minutes and 57 seconds in October 2001.
