Pip Hare

Pip Hare gained international attention when her foiling OMOCA 60, SV Medallia, was dismasted during the 2024 Vendée Globe Race. Pip was one of 40 sailors racing single-handed, non-stop and without assistance in what is often considered the greatest sailing race around the world. She was in fifteenth place, approximately 800 nautical miles south of Australia, when her boat lost its mast. Fortunately, Pip was not injured but she had to abandon the race and seek safe harbor.
