Boy, 15, sails single-handed across Atlantic
A 15-year-old boy became the youngest person to sail the Atlantic single-handed yesterday after a 2,700-mile race with his father. Seb Clover received a hero's welcome at Antigua after 24 days at sea, despite losing to his father, Ian, 46.
They left Tenerife on 19 December, in 32ft Contessa class yachts. Mr Clover Snr, a sailing instructor, reached Antigua on Saturday afternoon in his yacht, Xixia. Seb delayed his arrival to enter English Harbour in daylight.
