Isabelle Joschke, skipper of MACSF, is looking to turn things around when she sets sail for Les Sables-d'Olonne on November 6, 2024. The Vendée Globe is a solo, non-stop, round-the-world yacht race and Joschke is hoping to finish this one. She was forced to retire in 2020-21 when her boat was damaged in a collision with a fishing boat.

Joschke will be looking to make history as the first woman to win the Vendée Globe.

The Vendée Globe is one of the most difficult races in the world and only a handful of women have ever completed it. Joschke is hoping to become the first woman to win the race. She will be up against some of the best sailors in the world, but she is confident that she has what it takes to win. "I am convinced that I have the potential to win the Vendée Globe," Joschke said. "I have the experience, the skills, and the determination to win."

Joschke has been sailing since she was a child and has competed in numerous races around the world. She is a skilled sailor and has a wealth of experience. She is also a determined and resilient person which will help her to overcome the challenges of the Vendée Globe.

Joschke's boat, MACSF, is undergoing a major refit ahead of the race.
