English Harbor, Antigua ? Fifteen-year-old Sebastian Clover became the youngest sailor to make a solo crossing of the Atlantic. The British schoolboy completed the 2,700-mile voyage Sunday after 24 days at sea.

“Sailing is what I do best and I just wanted to try something really challenging,” he said. “I’m glad to be on land.”

He was accompanied on the final miles by his father, sailing instructor Ian Clover. The elder Clover had set off in a separate vessel alongside his son from the Canary Islands off Africa’s West Coast on Dec. 19. Ian Clover arrived in Antigua on Saturday.

Sebastian Clover broke the mark set by David Sandeman, a 17-year-old Briton, in 1975.
