G people

[amadeusamati]

Has anyone come up with the answer to the following- one of the names has to begin with the letter G. I'm stumped!
7. The first woman to sail across the Atlantic alone (6,7)

claire francis

sorry, didn't read your question properly. My apologies

just checked on google and it was claire or clare francis. Her boat was called the robertsons Golly.

I'm sure its the name of the person that has to begin with G also the letters are 6 and 7

Just to add to the confusion Wikipedia says the first woman to sail across the atlantic alone was Ann Davison in 1952.

I found this at the weekend Gladys Gradeley

It was 1902 and is mentioned in a book on Amazon. Took me ages of googling and I then got in trouble for giving the answer rather than a clue. You just cant win here!
