Vendée Globe 2024

Unbelievably close coming in to the last couple of weeks. I dipped out for a bit when Alex Thomson, and then Sam Davies both had to retire. Have been following Pip Hare though, proper highs and lows in her videos, even replacing a rudder whilst in the Southern Ocean. Really impressive.

I thought I'd start this one a bit early with a couple of links to Pip Hare's efforts:

• Pip Hare shows off new 'Medallia' boat
  
  
• Medallia: Pip Hare’s 2024 Vendee Globe IMOCA 60

Great news for Pip. She had to do so much to get on the line last time , did so well in a relatively slow boat , and now has a great opportunity to improve . Tough competitors though ..

Link: "As the premiere singlehanded non-stop round the world race, the 10th edition will have stringent qualification requirements to increase boat reliability and reduce attrition. Additionally, an effort will be made to internationalize entrants and open opportunities to female skippers." Plus, there is "a limit on participation at 40 entrants."
