About
Pip made her way into solo sailing history during the 2020 Vendee Globe race, where she skippered a 21 year old boat to 19th position, finishing within 24hrs of four foiling boats. She demonstrated her passion of sailing through her regular, human video updates and gained respect from the sailing world by changing a rudder alone in the Southern Ocean. Prior to the Vendée Globe race, Pip has raced in Class 40, Class mini and regularly under IRC. No matter where she is sailing, she is smiling.
