This has been an epic couple of weeks in the sailing world delivered by both the Vendee Globe and Americas Cup . Both remarkable with regards to sporting achievement and inspirational in terms of dealing with the highs and lows. The need for positive role models, has never been greater, given this, host, Abby Ehler is really pleased to be chatting to British Sailing Team member; Hannah Snellgrove. Hannah is a role model for bouncing back after set backs, be that recovering from illness, injury or being bumped off your team. Hannah is currently campaigning on the Olympic sailing circuit in the Laser Radial (the women’s single-handed Olympic class) with her sights firmly set on Paris in 2024. In this edition of The Sailing Show, Abby discusses with Hannah her experience with Coronavirus, from the perspective of a young, fit, athlete hoping that it opens people’s eyes in terms of the attitude of shrugging it off as not serious, and to learn and share knowledge as to how we cope with this virus.
