"At night we had to tie up canvas to keep us from falling out of bed."
Despite living landlocked all her life, Ms Boyd took to sailing like a fish to water, with not even a hint of sea sickness.

"I think it's in my blood," she said.
However, despite her new-found love of the sea, she was happy to spot New Zealand after spending six and a half days without a glimpse of land.
"We were all pretty excited to finally spot some land," she said.
"But it will be an experience I will never forget."
