About this book

Taking on the World : A Sailor's Extraordinary Solo Race Around the Globe by MacArthur, Ellen. paperback edition. ISBN: 0639785803126.

"An exuberant, headlong, exhausting ride . . . more than a book about sailboat racing; its also about a dream ferociously pursued and the price paid for realizing it . . . impossible to put down." --Derek Lundy, author, Godforsaken Sea "A story of mythic shape--of a young girl who receives a call to adventure and sets out on a compulsive journey, and finds mentors, tests, dark caves, despair, a supreme ordeal, and triumph." --Peter Nichols, author, A Voyage for Madmen "A passionate account that is far more than just another book about racing." --The (London) Times
