British skipper Pip Hare and her sponsors Medallia have confirmed they are the new owners of the IMOCA Bureau Vallée 2 which Louis Burton sailed to third place on the Vendée Globe which has just finished and which Armel Le Cléac'h sailed to victory in 2016-17 in a record time of 74 days 3 hours. The purchase of this well proven successful IMOCA represents a massive step towards the 2024 Vendée Globe for Hare, 47, who has worked relentlessly to achieve this goal since she finished in 19th place back on 12th February.
Hare, whose inspirational attitude and sheer tenacity made her one of the most popular stories of this ninth edition, raced the 21 year old former Superbigou, but admits she had already earmarked two boats last October, as her potential 'next boat'. Now she is determined to take a short rest, learn the boat and up her skill levels to be ready for a full IMOCA season in 2022.
