The Vendee Globe race is sailing's ultimate challenge -- a single-handed, nonstop thrash around the world including 13,000 miles through the dangerous Southern Ocean. At 5 feet 2 inches tall and age 24, MacArthur was the race's smallest and youngest competitor and one of just a handful of women ever to have attempted it. She was a long shot even to finish.
Not only did she become the youngest sailor to complete the race, but McArthur also was the first woman to earn a top-three placing, the fastest woman ever to sail around the world, and the second fastest person ever to do so alone. Taking On the World is the powerful and poignant memoir of a solitary girl who catapulted herself to the pinnacle of international sailing by sheer force of will.
