Medallia at Muckle Flugga

#SRBIR #rorcracing IMOCA Medallia rounds Muckle Flugga in 2022 Sevenstar Round Britain & Ireland Race. Pip Hare’s IMOCA Medallia was the first boat to round Muckle Flugga on the eighth day of the Sevenstar Round Britain & Ireland Race (14th August 17:09:33:31). Described by Medallia’s Watch Leader Paul Larsen as the ‘Cape of the North’. The crew of Medallia were elated to be finally turning south and looking forward to the possibility of fast downwind conditions in the North Sea. “We are very, very happy to see that bit of land!” commented Pip Hare shortly after rounding Muckle Flugga. “We never would have imagined it would take so long to get up here, it has been challenge after challenge. It’s still very complex meteorologically for the rest of the race. We are looking forward to hooking into low pressure and getting some miles underneath us, but the weather is still looking really complicated. This has always been a challenging race and that is why I entered it, but this weather takes it to another level.” 📸 Pip Hare Ocean Racing
