ALL ACCESS #8 with Pip Hare
Let's dive into the thrilling preparations for the Vendée Globe. For #IMOCA skippers, the year 2024 holds paramount significance, marking the pinnacle of their efforts. Sailing solo around the world is their ultimate ambition, and reaching the starting line is their first victory.
ALL ACCESS is the new web series produced by IMOCA in partnership with @harken. Its goal is to immerse you in the world of the skippers and the behind-the-scenes of their teams throughout the year, at the heart of their intense preparation for the major challenge that awaits them at the end of the year.
Cross the English Channel and spend a few days in England with Pip Hare, skipper of the IMOCA Medallia. With her radiant smile, Pip invites us into her world and shares her ambitious project: her dream of competing in the Vendée Globe, her unwavering determination to make it happen, the UK's deep-rooted culture of offshore racing, and the steadfast support of her team. While some days are more challenging than others, she fully appreciates the privilege of being on the starting line for the next Vendée Globe.
