One cirmumnavigation was simply not enough...

At 30 years old, Hannah Jenner has already made a big impression on the sailing world. In July 2008, she became the first female to skipper the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race, gaining a podium position overall.  But true to form just one circumnavigation was simply not going to be enough, step forward the next big challenge - GLOBAL OCEAN RACE 2011-12.

Hannah is extremely passionate about ocean racing and has been since her first trip across the Atlantic in 2005. Her determination, courage and absolute refusal to give up has produced some impressive results. Hannah counts rescuing a man over board in the Southern Indian Ocean at night, and bringing her Clipper team home in 3rd place overall amongst the greatest achievements of her life so far.

Not one to rest on her laurels, Hannah set herself the challenge of running the 2009 New York marathon - a gruelling feat at the best of times and even more so when you have just 4 months for training.  Hannah and best friend Lisa completed the 26.2 mile run in 5 hours.

Hannah's goal is to use her own skills and experience from 8 years of professional sailing to train and develop others whether out on the water or shore side as a motivational speaker.  Hannah's GLOBAL OCEAN RACE campaign will draw on these key skills and aims to bring a fresh new audience to sailing, just in time for the London 2012 Olympics.
