Ellen MacArthur has dedicated most of her life to sailing, and that dedication paid off last year when she set a round-the-world solo record of 71 days, 14 hours, 18 minutes and 33 seconds aboard the 75-foot trimaran B&Q.
The feat also earned her the title of Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE).
The talented sportswoman is now setting her sights on some more records, although this time she isn't sailing solo.
Together with her crew aboard the B&Q, she is currently undertaking the Asian Record Circuit, an attempt to set 12 benchmark times and promote sailing in this part of the world.
MacArthur and her team sailed into Hong Kong last week, after completing the circuit's sixth leg from Taipei.
When asked at a press conference about the biggest thing she had learnt during her years of sailing, she said that she had learnt to be humble.
