Hilary Lister's round Britain Challenge - she's off again

Last year Hilary Lister's dream of rounding Britain ended at Newlyn, mainly thanks to the inclement weather. This year her voyage will hopefully be less taxing and the boat better able to take the strains of non-stop sailing with the incredible 'sip & puff' technology that enables her to control the boat's sails and rudder.

Her progress can be followed live thanks to satellite tracking technology from the "Harrier" Iridium Satellite tracking device fitted aboard her yacht Artemis.

We wish her well this time round.
