'I'm ready to beat the boys'

Hannah Jenner and her crew waved goodbye to tens of thousands of people when their "Glasgow: Scotland with Style" yacht set sail from Qingdao Port, Shandong province. After 10 days at Qingdao, Jenner and her 17-member crew set off on their seventh race to Hawaii at 3:30 pm on February 24.

Young and pretty, it's hard to imagine Jenner, 27, as the skipper of one of the 10 yachts competing in 2007-2008 Clipper Round the World Yacht Race.

The only female skipper in the race, she is determined to steer her boat to a podium position. She does not see the fact that she is the only female skipper as any reason to lag behind.
