ASIAN RECORD CIRCUIT

.

Ellen MacArthur, she of fastest round-the-world solo time, has embarked on a series of runs that will set various pace records for distances in and around Asia. The record attempt will be run with crew and will use her distinctive 75-foot tri, “B&Q.”

She is looking to establish new records between Japan, South Korea, mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore –a total distance of around 4,505 miles, the equivalent of sailing from England to Mexico. The first run — from Yokohama, Japan to Dalian, mainland China via Jeju Island, South Korea, start March 25.

To follow the attempts go to TEAM ELLEN.
