Fourteen-year-old completes circumnavigation of Great Britain

Katie McCabe has finished sailing around Great Britain in her quest to become the youngest person to have ever done so.

The 14-year-old from Devon set off from Exmouth in her eight-metre long wooden yacht, Falanda, on June 30.

It took her just over 50 days to complete the journey. She was welcomed back by an enthusiastic crowd.

“Wow, what a return! Tonight I can officially say I have sailed single-handedly around Britain, something I have been dreaming of doing, since forever,” McCabe shared on social media following her return to Exmouth.
