Miranda Merron: “The South? I tell you what it is just not a place for mankind.”
Since she raced the two handed Transat Jacques Vabre in 1999 with Emma Richards on the yellow Open 50 chartered from Pete Goss, English skipper Miranda Merron has sailed most of the major ocean races, solo and two handed, as well as competing on Trophée Jules Verne and Volvo Ocean Race programmes. So Merron, skipper of Campagne de France, very much knows what she is letting herself in for, but she has always said this is the right time in her life for her to do the Vendée Globe.
