This year-end does marks a line in the sand for me. I start the year stepping into a different role within the team; a role I have aspired to for my entire adult life. For the first time ever in my career, and in the 48th year of my life I am going to be a full time professional sportsperson.

The Pip Hare Ocean Racing Team welcome friends, partners and sponsors to London for a special evening with Pip.

One woman sails around the world, but there is a strong team behind her all the way… meet the people supporting Pip on her journey to the next Vendée Globe.

The boat will be based in Poole for the next three years in the lead up to the 2024 Vendée Globe.

Has someone sped the world up? The days and weeks seem to be whipping by as fast as a channel crossing on the new Medallia.

On Sunday I was reminded what an incredibly liberating and diverse sport sailing is when I joined a group of partially sighted sailors on a sea vision taster day run by Visa-GB.
