[Bella]

She had already passed the finishing line earlier in the morning, Woodstock, The people on the board were part of her land crew who got on board when she passed the finishing line and then they sailed to Falmouth. She did do the whole thing on her own.

This is taken from Ellen's website and pretty much sums up why this is such an acheivement for her:

WHY IS THIS RECORD SO EXCEPTIONAL...

• 1800+ people have reached the summit of Everest...*

• 450+ people have been in space...**

• 12 astronauts have stepped on the moon...**

• Only 5 solo sailors have attempted to race around the globe non-stop on multihulls (the fastest and most extreme boats on the oceans) in pursuit of a new world record...

• Only 1 sailor succeeded to go the distance non-stop...

And now Ellen has made it two and done it in faster time.
