Sir Alec Rose (1908-1991) was an English businessman who developed a passion for amateur single-handed sailing. He took part in the second single-handed Atlantic Race in 1964 and circumnavigated the globe single-handedly in 1967-68, for which he was knighted. His boat was named the 'Lively Lady'. Although he did not come from a wealthy background and had no sponsor, he still managed to achieve his ambition.
