After being dismasted last night at around 21 45 hours UTC, some 800 miles south of Australia, Pip Hare, has secured Medallia, and has already set a jury rig and, bitterly disappointed,, is making slow but steady progress. She is uninjured, but her indefatigable spirit has taken a big hit.

It is the cruellest blow for Hare who was in her element, relishing her long time tussle over 15th place with French skipper Romain Atttanasio, (Fortinet Best Western), and was doing her best to chase down Benjamin Dutreux, (Guyot Environnement-Water Family), in front. Typical of Pip, she had just sent a cheery video the night before, “It is so beautiful here.” she grinned beneath her trademark woolly hat.

So far nothing has been reported as to what might have happened, but we will get updates later in the day. Medallia is not damaged, and Pip is trying to come to terms with things.

Hare is unfortunately not the only one with difficulties.
