“The Vendée Globe Remains The Ultimate Challenge”, says Boris Herrmann
Team Malizia’s skipper Boris Herrmann is setting sail this Sunday in the Vendée Globe, the legendary solo, non-stop, unassisted round-the-word race. Once again, the German is eager to face the demanding challenges of the Southern Ocean. With a blend of experience, nautical miles sailed, and a boat designed specifically for this race, Boris Herrmann is considered a strong podium contender in this edition of the Vendée Globe.
