WATCH HERE
In this very first episode, I’m opening the doors to a new chapter in my life: a new team, a new home base in Brittany, France, and a huge new challenge on the horizon – racing solo, non-stop around the world in the 2028 Vendée Globe. I’m Francesca Clapcich, a professional athlete, and through this web series, I’ll take you behind the scenes as I build towards some of the biggest races in the sport of sailing, alongside my sponsor, 11th Hour Racing.
You’ll get a first look at the boat that will carry me across the ocean, meet the team helping to bring this project to life, and see what it’s really like to balance elite sport with motherhood. From early days in Brittany to the first Believe, Belong, Achieve workshop, this episode lays the foundation for everything that’s to come.
In this episode:
- Arriving in Brittany
- Life as a sailor and a mom
- First glimpses of my future boat
- Behind the scenes with the team
- Our very first Believe, Belong, Achieve workshop
Welcome onboard!
