Ellen MacArthur, the British sailor, was 48 hours from making nautical history last night as she hit a ''horrendous storm'' on the final stages of her epic round-the-world journey.
Heading into a northerly Atlantic gale, she was two days and four hours ahead of the deadline she needs to beat to set a new record for circumnavigating the globe single-handed.
Cheers Ellen
Battle for the Atlantic
