[4] Clover is a former young adventurer from Cowes on the Isle of Wight in England, who, at the age of 15 years and 362 days,[3] was the youngest person in the world to successfully sail across the Atlantic Ocean single-handedly (in late 2002 – early 2003).
Clover was educated at Ryde School with Upper Chine, a co-educational independent school in the seaside town of Ryde, on the Isle of Wight,[1][7] followed by the University of Plymouth (subsequently renamed Plymouth University for marketing purposes), in 2005.
[2] From 19 December 2002 to 12:50 GMT[8] on 12 January 2003,[3] Seb raced his father across the Atlantic Ocean for 2,700 nautical miles (5,000 km)[9] between Santa Cruz de Tenerife on the Canary Islands and Nelson's Dockyard on Antigua.
Both racers had close encounters with killer whales and rigging problems meant Seb was unable to catch up with his father.
[3] He lost his title in January 2007, when Michael Perham made the crossing at the age of 14.
