Lisa Clayton
Lisa Lyttelton, Dowager Viscountess Cobham (born about 1958 as Lisa Clayton) is the first British woman to sail single-handed and non-stop around the world. She was educated in Birmingham at the Church of England School for Girls, Edgbaston, and the University of Birmingham.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.independent.co.uk/news/his-lordship-ties-the-knot-with-lady-skipper-1243968.html )〕
On 17 September 1994 Clayton set out to attempt two world records, namely "Fastest Sail Around the World by a Woman, Single-Handed Without Assistance" and "First British Woman to Sail Single-Handed and Non-Stop Around the World." She returned on 29 June 1995, after 285 days at sea.
On her thirty-eight foot yacht, called ''Spirit of Birmingham'', Clayton survived the journey despite capsizing seven times. Her vessel was named after her home city and the university which contributed over £40,000 and expertise to make it possible for Clayton to realise her dream. On 1 October 1996, Clayton was recognized as an Honorary Freeman of the City of Birmingham.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://birmingham.gov.uk/cs/Satellite?c=Page&childpagename=Lord-Mayor%2FPageLayout&cid=1223244011251&pagename=BCC%2FCommon%2FWrapper%2FWrapper&rendermode=live )〕
On 1 August 1997 she married the 11th Viscount Cobham, owner of Hagley Hall in Worcestershire. He died in 2006.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.theguardian.com/news/2006/jul/22/guardianobituaries.mainsection1 )〕
