Description
Pip Hare is the CEO of Britain’s leading Ocean Race team, the 8th woman in history to finish the Vendée Globe Yacht Race, a world record. Pip exemplifies passion, sheer determination and focus – all of which have driven her not just to compete but to change the status quo in the low-sponsorship world of women’s sport.
Growing up in land-locked Cambridgeshire, Pip had neither the role models nor the contacts to make a career in yacht racing. She realised that to succeed she had to create her own opportunities. ‘If someone said I couldn’t do it, I simply walked around them and found my own solution.’ Now she runs an international racing team attracting sponsorship contracts valued in the millions.
This, her first book, is both a gripping record of one of her toughest races ever and an inspiring account of the mental and physical strategies that have allowed her to discover, as a middle-aged woman, a life that allows her to live ‘in flow’ and achieve success.
