2nd participation in 2024
British
Age:50
A revelation in the last Vendée Globe, when she sailed aboard an older generation boat, Pip Hare is back for her second participation at the helm of a more powerful foiler, which has enabled her to test her limits. This is the boat on which Armel Le Cléac'h won the 2016 edition, setting a record for the event to boot!
