answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）

On Christmas Day, 2002, most British teenagers were opening presents and eating turkey with their families, but not 15-year-old Sebastian Clover. He was on a boat in the middle of the ocean. He was trying to sail 4,320 kilometers across the Atlantic by himself!

    Sebastian began training for the crossing when he was only 12. When he was 15, Sebastian and his father, Ian, decided to have a race. They would each have the same boat, ten meters long. They would sail from the Canary Island across the Atlantic Ocean to the island of Antigua in the Caribbean. The first person to finish the 4,320-kilometer trip would be the winner.

    Before the race, news reporters asked Ian Clover if he would let his son win. "No way!" he answered. Four days after the start of the race, Ian was about 30 kilometers ahead, but he spoke to his son by radio every day. Sebastian was not having an easy trip. He began having problems with his boat. Then three killer whales started to follow him! But Sebastian didn't give up. He fixed his boat with rope. In the end, the killer whales left him alone. His father won the race by 14 hours, but Sebastian set a new world record: he became the youngest person ever to sail across the Atlantic Ocean alone.

    A lot of news reporters were waiting for Sebastian when he arrived in Antigua. They asked him if he had enjoyed the crossing. Sebastian told them that it had been fantastic, but very tiring. "After 25 days in a boat, I'm looking forward to sleeping in a bed that doesn't move," he said.
