"I did this because one of my family friends has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer," Faith tells me, adding, "And I would like to support her in as many ways as I can."
"I completed the crossing in 2 hours and 56 minutes, achieving what I believe to be the fastest English Channel crossing by a dinghy sailor."
The 21 mile journey was even captured by Channel 4 - for a documentary due to be broadcast next year.
"I did have to deal with some of the biggest waves I've ever sailed in," she adds, "Having to avoid ferries, war ships and cargo ships was difficult in the giant waves!"
The 16 year old says reaching French soil proved to be 'the most challenging moment', "When I got to the shore, the waves were crashing onto me, and I really struggled to get back into my boat and sail back out.
"I barely managed to do that without drifting onto the rocks."
Faith wants to thank all the people who have supported her.
"I'd like to thank them so much, because it definitely made an impact and helped a lot - it's so important as I really want to support Cancer Research, and those that are in need of it."
Mum Hayley, who was part of the support team, was following in a rib, "I think it's incredible - it's all her idea, when you get the first thousand you think that's amazing, and it just went up and up and up.
"I'm just really proud of her, she was just so composed the whole way, I obviously didn't take my eyes off her the whole time!"
Faith ends by telling me she feels 'slightly overwhelmed' by her achievement, "And just really happy because I completed it."
I ask what the family friend the teenager's supporting thinks, "She was really, really happy, and she sent me some flowers which was really nice."
Well done Faith! And good luck with training and upcoming competitions.
