Mara Løvenskiold is a Norwegian athlete-turned-sailor, getting ready to start the next edition of the nonstop round-the-world Golden Globe Race in 2026. She's been a professional fencer and bobsledder and turned to sailing after a chance encounter got her on a catamaran headed around the world. After circumnavigating over three years with Sailing Ripple Effect, Mara set her sights on her next big challenge in the Golden Globe. Andy talked to her from Sweden about her career and GGR prep.
