I did the Clipper Race [0] in 2007 when Hannah Jenner was the skipper aboard Glasgow. I never sailed directly under her but I sailed with plenty of others who did and they had nothing but praise for her abilities. I was also on a boat racing against her's numerous times so I've witnessed the sailing aspect firsthand.

At one point her boat had a man overboard in a force 6 in the southern ocean. It's a testament to her skill that he survived. It requires true leadership to keep your cool in those sorts of conditions.
