Welcome to the Pip Hare Ocean Racing store. An opportunity to purchase Pip Hare Ocean Racing branded products and help provide funds to Pip’s Vendée Globe campaign.

On 22 December 2024, halfway through my second Vendée Globe race, my mast snapped in two, forcing me to navigate 800 miles to safety in the Southern Ocean with a makeshift mast—alone and unaided.

Now, I face an even greater challenge: raising money to ship my boat back to Europe and restart my campaign. Without these funds, I risk losing the chance to compete in the next Vendée Globe.

With no active sponsors since the race, time is running out. I must cover shipping costs by 1 March to avoid mounting bills in Australia and begin qualifying for the 2028 race this summer.

Your support will help us return to the race track. Any excess funds will go toward fitting a new mast and securing our future.

If my journey inspires you, please consider donating to keep the dream alive. We may be down, but this story is far from over.
