Hannah, 28, has over the last 10 years, made a mark for herself as one of the UK’s most talented and successful single-handed offshore sailors. Concentrating all of her efforts into sailing, the pinnacle of her sailing career came in 2009 when she achieved a podium position in one of the world’s toughest single-handed ocean races, the OSTAR (original single handed transatlantic race).

As the youngest female to compete in the 2005 edition of this race, Hannah’s 2009 performance proved not only her sailing ability but also her obvious talent for broadcasting and communicating. Winning the media prize (as voted for by the general public) in 2009, Hannah has gone on to forge a successful public speaking and broadcasting career in both sailing and adventuring. Working regularly with BBC radio and regional ITV Hannah also worlds as live presenter and commentator on the World Match Racing Tour, the Extreme Sailing Series and will shortly start working on the Volvo Ocean Race. Hannah is also a popular international speaker.

Hannah’s primary focus moving forward lies with developing her speaking and broadcast career whilst undertaking some other challenging adventures along the way. She’s sailed an ocean solo, so will it be a mountain or a pole next…?
