Francesca Clapcich and North Sails | A Journey of Purpose from Transat Café LOR to Vendée Globe

Every journey begins with a decision, and @FrancescaFrankieClapcich's next one may be her boldest yet. On Sunday, Clapcich set off on the @TransatCafeLOR, her first major test as skipper of Team Francesca Clapcich Powered by @11thHourRacing. It marks the beginning of a four-year journey toward the @VendeeGlobeTV 2028, the ultimate solo, non-stop race around the planet. In this interview, we look behind the surface of competition to see the person within. Francesca shares what it means to embrace the unknown, rediscover the thrill of being a rookie, focus on the journey over only results, and the responsibility every sailor holds toward the ocean. As Official Apparel Supplier to Team Francesca Clapcich Powered by 11th Hour Racing, North Sails Apparel is proud to accompany her on this journey.
