Female circumnavigation [in a Contessa 26]

[Poignard]

A young woman sailed a Contessa 26 around the world and wrote a book about it. Does anyone know her name and the book title, please? Was it a good read - worth buying?

Tanya Aebi did this in her CO26 "Varuna". The book is called Maiden Voyage, it's a very good read.

I thought female circumnavigation was only cariied out in certain distant countries ???

And, would there be space on a tessa 26 ???

the mind boggles... or did I misread it.....
