Pip Hare – Vendée Globe 2020

After 95 days, 11 hours, 37 mins and 30 seconds of racing, Pip Hare is the first British skipper to finish the 2020-21 Vendée Globe, and only the eighth women ever to finish the race in its history.

Her performance (19th place) on a 21-year-old IMOCA 60 the oldest boat yet to finish this edition, has drawn admiration from all corners of the world. The British sailor chose a full set of OneSails sails, built in a single piece using the exclusive 4T FORTE composite technology.

4T FORTE are the only sails worldwide certified ISO 14040 Life Cycle Assessment and, unlike all other sails, are 100% recyclable in a standard waste separation process at the end of their life.

Congrats Pip! You really deserved it. The whole OneSails team admire you and is proud of having been part of your outstanding performance!

Following the ORC World Championship, we spoke with Mati Sepp, skipper of Technonicol and owner of OneSails Estonia, about the team's campaign, the role of sail development, the challenges of competing at the highest level, and what lies ahead for one of ORC racing's most successful teams.
