Cyclops Marine is immensely proud to announce that it has become an official supplier to Pip Hare Ocean Racing. With towering achievements under her belt, including becoming one of the few women to have completed the Vendée Globe, Pip Hare is one of the world's most respected sailors. The opportunity to support Pip and her team over the next few years and going into their 2024 Vendée Globe campaign is a hugely exciting prospect.

It is a huge compliment that Pip Hare Ocean Racing has identified Cyclops Marine's wireless load sensing technology as a competitive asset to the team. With an ethos of determination, innovation and success central to Pip Hare Ocean Racing, we believe that our values are closely aligned. At its core, Cyclops technology is about innovating for the next challenge, building on past performances and helping sailors achieve their future goals through hard work, constant learning and analysis, and Cyclops hopes that it can provide useful tools to help Pip Hare Ocean Racing do just that.

Pip Hare:
"When I'm sailing alone across oceans, I need to rely on all the kit on the boat and be confident in my suppliers. So I'm delighted to be using Cyclops Marine's wireless load sensing technology."

Ian "Chips" Haworth, CEO, Cyclops Marine:
"We are hugely excited to be working with Pip Hare Ocean Racing, and that our sensors will have a place onboard Medallia going into the 2024 Vendée Globe campaign. As a British company it is also extra special to work with Britain's great sailors."
