All aboard people, the Pip Hare Ocean Racing Vendee Globe roller coaster is about to leave the station on its next crazy ride and you’d better strap in for this one because the final loop the loop is a biggie.

This year’s Fastnet race is something I will remember and smile about for the rest of my life.

The race played out in a way I never could have imagined; who would think it was possible to lead this race in a 20-year-old boat? But we did and I am still grinning.

In order to move forward with any task in this world, we must evolve and adapt to the changing circumstances around and within us. Adjusting to our environment, acknowledging learnings and setbacks but always looking forward to the next step.

The Pip Hare Ocean Racing Business Syndicate has been picked up and featured in Forbes as an innovative way to fund a sporting campaign. Read the full feature here.

I am really excited to announce my co-skipper for this year’s Fastnet race will be Paul Larsen – the current holder of the World speed sailing record and a world class Ocean Racing sailor.
