Off To A Great Start Around The World For Boris Herrmann In Vendée Globe 2024-2025

Team Malizia’s skipper Boris Herrmann has started his second Vendée Globe this Sunday at 13:02 in Les Sables d’Olonne. After sailing up the famous channel to the cheers of an enthusiastic crowd, the fleet of 40 IMOCA boats set sail in very light winds and in a race that will take them around the world and through the challenging conditions of the Southern Ocean.
