ELLEN planning 2nd solo transatlantic

Quote:
From the 1st September this year, Ellen MacArthur will go on standby for her second attempt on the solo transatlantic record from New York (USA) to Plymouth (UK) on board the 75-foot trimaran <<B&Q>>. This will be MacArthur's second attempt on this record that has stood for over a decade since her attempt last June ended in disappointment as she missed out on setting a new record by just 75 minutes. The current solo transatlantic record stands at 7 days, 2 hours, 34 minutes, 42 seconds set by Frenchman Laurent Bourgnon in June 1994 on board his 60-foot trimaran, Primagaz.

I see in Boats and Outboards someone trying to palm off "Ellen Macarthur's Cabaret".
"Rare opportunity to buy a piece of history"
I thought it was Liza Minelli in cabaret.

Re: piece of history for sale

any other slices of history for sale? I quite fancy buying something oldish like 1660 to 1685, as a er restoration project.

You'd only be playing at it.
