Lisa Clayton - Alone - Around The World 

Just to clarify, Lisa Clayton was the first British woman to sail single-handed non-stop around the world in 1995. Kaye Cottee was the first woman from any country, in 1988, to sale single-handed non-stop around the world. Both women did a circumnavigation of the world via the five Great Capes. It was a requirement to do the five Capes back then but since then the World Sailing Speed Record Council allows only four Great Capes to constitute sailing around the world. Sailing around the world can be a shorter distance than circumnavigating the world.

Capsized seven times and two timer 360⁰. Holy moly. Poor woman.

Fantastic footage of a tremendous accomplishment. What a woman; what a sailor!

She is Fantastic

My hat 🎩 is off to this lady. Respect 💪🏽☝🏽👍🏽

Beautiful sailing episode filming, thanks for sharing. What a beautiful sailing experience and stories around the world ⛵️ 🌎

This is an incredible record. Just imagine in a 36hr span she capsized 7 times, mentioning the boat completely rotated twice... Calmly saying the winds "dropped" to 49knts. Insane stuff.

Excellent film pour une super expérience. Félicitation et merci pour le partage.

great spirit, great soul, beautiful mood, and so simple, congrats

Amazing Lisa Clayton!!! This is my 1st tine hearing about her story! I have zero doubt that she Solo sailed around the world... She went thru things fully crew'd vessel couldn't handle,nor come out of!! She's quite an awesome woman. I want to know more regarding this story of Lisa.... Thanks for posting this. Will you post more videos about sailing? Thanks for sharing her life with us grateful for the wisdom ✌🏼💗😊❣️ PS, I have no doubt in my mind Lisa sailed that vessel round the world alone . Just her an her vessel her video recorder an the Ocean .. She's the 1st woman who sailed round the world an ppl wanna cast doubt. An she has video proof...!! Lisa Clayton is my hero ✌🏼💗😊❣️ Donna Kawana from Chesapeake Bay Maryland

Amazing voyage. Thanks for posting.

A story of a hero. What a shame she no longer among us. RIP and your story/dream will be there forever.

Courage, respect for the sea, and advanced seamanship. What a sailor.

Well done you're a star

What am Amazing brave woman

Hat off to this outrageously brave woman.

Thank you for posting. Great video.

Excellent watch, thank you!

Very smart capable beautiful woman

Loved every minute. What an amazing lady. Can’t find anything else about her online so will read her book. Any suggestions on what sailing documentary to watch next? Preferably solo + self recorded videos like this. So brave

Yes it was Kay Cottee that was the first woman to sail around the world. Her yacht is on display at Sydney’s Power House Museum Australia. She planned for every eventuality and even took a mast repair kit and her mast did sustain severe damage apparently at one stage. Things even back in the 1980s we’re not as high tech as they are now. Things have come such a long way but sailing still involves all the effort and knowledge.These swinging stoves and battery chargers you hang over the back just were not around in the 1980s. And as pointed out here it takes a boat and some funds. Not many women solo sail anywhere much and there are allegations women are often harassed. I can’t imagine having to face pirates as a woman but it is great many women are sailing. Let us hope there are more.

Outstanding Lisa well done

10:33 Christ, what kind of out-of-touch geezer of a sound editor was allowed, in 1995, to put 60s bloody surf music -already 30 years out of date- onto this footage...and believe it or not, the choice of music gets even bloody worse at 24:55...he must have thought he was being hip...it's just appalling. Had she been male, no one would have questioned her feat, but the Misogynist Establishment Sailing Geezers got their noses out of joint that she was successful. Damned impressive woman, must do further reading on her.

Would be great to meet her . Just sold my classic yacht to Take on a smaller one . Love to sail with her

Top respect, what a girl.

The high pitch ringing has me running away from this video!

Respect Lisa . You have proven you can do it.

The out of sync sound tracks do not do justice to this wonderful achievement. Well done on a wonderful adventure.

Pretty cool. What an accomplishment!!

it appears she didn't even emblazen her ship with ads for her instagram or youtube as so many others seem to do.

Well... it might not have changed her, but it sure as heck would have changed ME!

Thanks for this

3 months, brand new boat, rusting everywhere already. I'll stick to my lovely plastic boats. I know steel would give great peace of mind at sea, but all that rust would drive me bonkers day and night.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I remember this and the controversy at the time. Darn shame about the sound. It is really only mono and not stereo. Left channel is ok'ish. Only thing coming from right channel is screechy muffled and horrible. Could not make out anything at all from the right and it just distracted from the left. So was better to remove and cut out the right channel so could at least hear it decently.

Does Peter Harding have family in Norway? Hans Harding owns a lifeboat yard in Norway. Lifeboats need to meet pretty harsh qualifications, try a drop into the ocean.

Where's the boat now?

I want to watch this but the audio is so bad! :(. Left channel only plus a constant high pitch ringing in both channels. I may have to download it and do some filtering myself

Capsized 7 times, once 360??? Next day cooking, all pots & pans still in place. Idk ?

I don't doubt she made the voyage but when she jumped of the boat at the end she didn't show any signs of sea legs...8 hours at sea will produce it and 8 months is worse.

What design was the boat?

She must have used a terrible paint system. There so much rust on a new hull? You don’t see that these days on a well kept steel yacht, Even one that’s constantly cruising.

40.? Ego? Go slow and enjoy the trip

I know nothing about sailing. Why is she pulling a long rope in the water behind her? I've seen this before. TIA.

Very inappropriate musical accompaniment. Absolutely BIZARRE.

Sailing aroumd the world 97% being able to afford the boat, expenses and supplies and 3 % skill easily picked up along the way

Bad paint jobb. GRP lighter and better? GGR is happening

Did you say she wants to be the FIRST woman to sail solo non stop around the world ? That has already been done

Thank goodness she proved to be useless within the first few seconds of the video. Saved me a lot of time
