zoe kleinman's been to the south coast of england to find out more. this is pip hare.orting event on the planet that asks so much of human beings. pip‘s trying to beat the world record set 15 years ago by dame ellen macarthur. the challenge is physically tough both on the sailor and on the boat. but something that can be overlooked is the mental health strain of being completely alone at sea for weeks on end. it is why pip‘s team is going to keep a eye on her well—being. pip‘s boat is kitted out with every gadget you'd expect on a 21st—century craft. autopilot, gps, led flares, but what sets it apart is that mental health tech is also part of the package. i'm really interested in how you're going to cope with being completely on your own for such a long period of time. so, it is a long time at sea but i'm really not alone, i'm well—connected. i have two satellite systems, i can upload video, i can whatsapp chats... and this connection to shore is where this 20—year—old yacht truly becomes cutting—edge. pip‘s team plans to use artificial intelligence to understand how s
