Lisa Clayton - Alone - Around The World

[@gchurchley]

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

[@chrisyarnold6205]

Yes, but I notice that there is no footage from rounding the horn, which I expected as much for verification purposes, as for point of interest footage.

[@rimasmeleshyus9486]

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

[@pathirault3100]

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

[@tonypurkiss6022]

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.

[@bradsmith7085]

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.

[@zerofox7347]

I honestly find that hard to believe, She would have been dismasted! I’m not trying to be an ass it’s just truly difficult to roll a blue water yacht through 360.

[@Epic76ers]

@@zerofox7347 I agree a lot of this did not add up to me at all and for me kay Cottee holds this record

[@sligeach]

@@zerofox7347 I'm amazed the spray Dodgers stayed on during 7 capsizes.

[@peterbodifee]

@@zerofox7347 I suspect that her capsize meant that her mast went horizontal and touched the sea. 360 rotation in the vertical plane with a blue water keel yacht is very unlikely. Maybe she did involuntary 360 in the horizontal plane?

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

Kay Cottee AO is an Australian sailor, who was the first woman to perform a single-handed, non-stop and unassisted circumnavigation of the world. She performed this feat in 1988 in her 37 feet yacht Blackmores First Lady, taking 189 days.

[@harbourdogNL]

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.

[@emerkamp1]

Whatt?? They crack heads on any men attempts at this all the time and have caught cheaters. Not to mention A WOMAN had already made the claim from Australia years ahead of her. So who's the sexist again?? Stupid comments like your's all over the web anymore.

[@ulrikezachmann7596]

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.

[@andrewdean7182]

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

[@johnburgess5534]

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

[@SmartinMrT]

I don't understand the out of sync sound track? The file I uploaded is in sync, it's something KZbin has done to the file! It's so annoying!!!

[@briandale8386]

Your brain is out of Sync, I wonder if I can make my iPhone record or Mac edit to look like old film . What is that a old 16 mini hand held camera. Or one of those big camcorders. The wave shots look bad ass in old footage , it puts a added fright in its step

[@wilharrison8883]

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.

[@sailingyoumeandjosapea6770]

Yeah I noticed the rust and thought similar

[@intrepidnomads]

Rust never sleeps - sailors say. But, if you ever hit anything hard (or semi hard, like a whale), you'd be damn glad you were in a steel boat. Great choice of a boat for the kind of journey this lady departed on.

[@saylaveenadmearedead]

Where's the boat now?

[@pancakeflux]

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

[@voornaam3191]

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.

[@JohnRyan-f2n]

Well done, you were lucky to survive.

[@kevinfisher1345]

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.

[@forestspeaks]

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

[@borys2767]

Yes that doesn't make sense, knock down but no way capsized and not demasted?? Steering vane intact and all outside gear no damage.

[@bojangles8837]

It sounded fishy to me as well. You would be very lucky indeed, to have your rig standing, most certainly with any sails up. The forces during a 360 roll would be tremendous, both inside and out.

[@redpill6750]

Caught that too. Very questionable!!

Speaking as one who has actually been pitchpoled that's actually correct 👌 😊

[@davidpethick83]

What design was the boat?

[@glenndavis479]

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.
