The teenager who can take a bow! While most her age are glued to their iPhones, 14-year-old Katie has just become the youngest person ever to sail solo around Britain. And the biggest challenge? Persuading Mum to let her do it

Most keen sailors develop sea legs. Katie McCabe seems to have come into the world with hers fully formed.  When her parents returned home to Britain in 2008 after an epic three-year honeymoon on the high seas, they did so with a toddler who had learned to walk on a boat. Hazel and David McCabe, both keen sailors, had started married life with a ‘crazy idea to cross the Atlantic’. They’d upped sticks, sold their boat trip business in Devon, and took off in a converted trawler. They kept going, eventually completing a 14,000-mile odyssey. Now Katie, who is still only 14, is at it too, at the tiller of her very own boat. Atlantic swell: ‘After leaving Milford Marina, we were greeted by 3-metre seas. But we were sailing nicely' When we speak, she is fresh from her own record-breaking adventure. A fortnight ago she became the youngest person to sail around Britain single-handedly, in her 26ft vessel, breaking the record previously held by Timothy Long from Aylesbury who made the voyage
