    My new rule of thumb is the next time I have a shit fight on my hands I’m going to ask myself ‘what would Pip do’ what a legend ✊

    Sometimes the greatest adventures start when the racing stops - the legend that is Pip Hare sails on.

    Hi Pip, we have been following your solo sailing for several years now, keep going! We are in Tasmania, if you look our way you might see us waving.

    the Southern Ocean, a good mood, DIY, sailing, fantastic music, teaching, explaining the weather, ...
    THIS is my all-time favourite TV show - no matter how "slow" it may be!
    I love it!
    Thank you very much Pip 💙

    After all that's happened, to see you chipper, smiling and ready for work is an excellent lesson on how to deal with problems in life. Bad day yesterday, and just one day later in the "right, let's get cracking" mindset. Absolutely amazing. You may not have won the race, but you're still a winner in many people's eyes.

    @ColinMcInnes-i5n 2 дні тому +15

    You don’t have to cross the line first to be winner in this edition of the Vendee Globe. Your indomitable spirit has made you a real winner in everyone’s eyes. To see you working hard to get Medallia sailing quicker is truly inspiring. Who needs sunshine when Pip is smiling? Tears were shed when we all learned of your ‘mishap’ but that will be nothing compared to the tears shed when you step ashore. 😭 Please keep the updates coming as we want to keep following your progress towards Oz. 💐💐💐

    Pip is my hero. Such character. Such fortitude. Such an incredible sailor which comes through ever more clearly now when things have gone sideways. And to top it all off she just taught me a great plastic bag sika spatula trick. Thank you Pip. Thank you very much.

    Well done Pip. Great to see you smiling and digging in.
    After spending most of my life in the racing car/ motorcycle industry I' ve learnt that " the mark of a true professional is somebody who can get themselves out of the sh*t faster than they got into it ".
    Your wonderful positive mindset in times of distress is a lesson we can all learn from.
    Keep up the good work and the filming it's wonderful stuff !

    Superb! Absolutely not the adventure you were pursuing this winter, nor the one we were expecting…but this side quest is every bit as engaging to follow in its own way. 😊 I’m always impressed by individual feats of resilience, creativity, resourcefulness, and simple human spirit. That’s why I watch the Vendée Globe. This new adventure is exactly all those things, and I wish you well!

    Pip, Yet again you show your fantastic focus and tenacity. Getting a Jury rig up so quick was amazing. We are all with and following you, in the last VG you showed the same positive attitude with the rudder repair. Good luck and safe sailing for the trip to oz.

    @simon__4489 2 дні тому +7

    Hi Pip, greetings from Melbourne. Having lost a rig on the Tas West Coast I feel for you. We had 6 on board & it took forever to set up a jury rig, can't imagine how you did it so quickly on your own. Yep, you do need a little more horsepower, but I'm sure you'll get there. Huge fan, stay strong, we'll be out to greet you when you arrive. PS we came through the heads with a big Southerly doing 16kts, so here's hoping you get similar 🤞

    My word Pip, well done you. You are so resourceful, I half expect in the next video to see you spear fishing off the stern of Medallia using a sharpened batten from your mainsail and then later on giving us a tutorial on how to cook a Sea Bass soufflé from the fish you have caught. Keep going, it's brilliant!

    @peterturner93 2 дні тому +1

    Hi Pip, I thought your talks in Poole yacht club were inspirational - but your example of how to cope with the terrible dismasting and get Medallia pressing on to Australia is a masterclass in so many aspects of sailing in the toughest race in the world. Thank you for sharing your “slow boat” to Oz leg of your round the world trip. Keep up the cheerful and uplifting reporting -it’s making us all feel better about your predicament.

    A Massive thank you for taking us on your journey. While not as planned the opportunity to watch your recovery will be invaluable to fellow sailors that find themselves in similar situations. Demonstrating how one overcomes adversity in a truly spectacular setting is a tutorial that ALL will benefit from.

    Pip - I loved watching your educational videos on sea(wo)manship - this is also legendary and such a vital tool for anyone serious about sailing in the open ocean. Sailing under jury rig scares me and seeing you just do it is an inspiration. We realize you have a team supporting you but when it comes to the cold hard reality of doing the work - it's all you. Thank you for bringing us along.

    Cornwall calling!
    Melbourne’s not at all a bad place to be to see the New Year in, I had the pleasure of being there for it a few years ago and had a blast.
    If you can get a mainsail-ish item to fly I reckon you’ll make it too.
    If it wasn’t for what must be a pretty sucky motion without the mast I’d actually be a bit jealous.
    Right now it’s mostly grey cold and soggy enough here to make a Pasty limp at the mo’ and I could do with a week or two ambling around in shorts for a change, rather than donning full foulies every time I go out.
    Take care of yourself, eat drink and sleep a bunch, you’ve earned it.
    Cheers and stay safe, R. 😎👍🍻

    Have watched this video twice! What an education in resilience, problem-solving and super practical skills. When I was sailing solo (just inshore) I carried a book called "Repairs at Sea" and got thoroughly and mercilessly ribbed by others. Years later, watching your amazing skills, I feel completely vindicated (and I've still got the book!!😅).
