17 year-old British sailor Mike Perham returned to Portsmouth on Saturday 29th August to a heroes welcome from his parents Peter and Heather Perham, sister Fiona, and thousands of friends and well-wishers, after becoming the youngest person to sail single-handed around the world. His 50ft yacht Totallymoney.com had crossed the traditional Lizard/Ushant line marking the start and finish point of his 30,000 mile record-setting solo sailing circumnavigation at 09: 47.30BST on Thursday 27th August - two months inside the previous age record set by American teenager Zac Sunderland. Portsmouth however, marked the start and finish point of this 9 month odyssey, for Mark Perham set out from Gunwharf Quay on 15th November 2008. Aged 17 years, 164 days old when he set the record, the teenager from Potters Bar, Hertfordshire was escorted up the Solent today by the Royal Navy guard ship HMS Puncher, and a flotilla of boats.
