Summary
Pip Hare is a solo sailor and eighth woman in history to ever complete the Vendee Globe - a solo sailing race around the world known as the Everest of the Seas. Her adventures range from changing the rudder on her IMOCA 60 in the Southern Ocean during the Vendée Globe race to capsizing in the Bay of Biscay on passage to the Canaries
Pip is also a keen runner and in 2014 at the age of 41 Pip competed in her first ever ultra marathon running race - the Lakeland 50. With the bug for running, Pip went on - at the age of 44 in 2017, alongside her friend Charles Hill, become the only pair in history to ever compete in and finish the Three Peaks Yacht race as a team of two people.
Pip will be 50 when she next takes part in the Vendée Race.
