Cole Brauer made history in 2024 as the first American woman to race solo, non-stop around the world. She crossed the line wearing a hat that read Wild Feminist — a bold and powerful statement from a sailor who’d once been told she was too short for the Southern Ocean. Clearly, she proved them wrong — and along the way, captured the hearts and minds of over 450,000 fans by sharing raw, vulnerable glimpses into her life alone at sea. We caught up in Cowes at the end of July, just before the start of the Fastnet. It’s not often I get to sit down with another woman my age competing at this level — so I loved this chat with Cole. And, I have a feeling you’re going to enjoy it too. -- Support the podcast & become a member of <a href= "https://quarterdeck.59-north.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">The Quarterdeck</a>, where Andy, August & Mia dive deep on the art of seam'nship.
