Team Malizia - Boris Herrmann

Bienvenue à Nice 🇫🇷☀️5️⃣
After an intense 650-nautical-mile sprint from Cartagena, Boris Herrmann’s Team Malizia crossed the line in Nice this morning, finishing 5th in Leg 3 of The Ocean Race Europe. Shifting winds, sweltering heat, and close duels with rivals kept the crew on their toes all the way to the finish, arriving just two and a half hours behind leg winner Biotherm.

Boris: “I’m really proud of the team. They worked incredibly hard, and we were in sight of our competitors the whole time. In the end, it wasn’t quite enough, but it could have been a podium finish. It was a fantastic leg, a lot of fun, and I’m truly proud of the spirit we kept on board and how we worked together.”

The team is now recharging during a short stopover in the South of France before the start of Leg 4 to Genova this Sunday. A special highlight awaits: racing past Monaco and the scoring gate, where Team Malizia will fight for points in their home waters.
Leg 4 will also mark a crew change – Loïs Berrehar steps off after two great legs, and Pierre Casiraghi, co-founder of Team Malizia and Vice-President of the Yacht Club de Monaco, comes onboard. 💪
⏰ Leg 4 start: Sunday 31 August, 17:00 CEST – Nice

Meg three has been a real in shore race , like a race on a lake with a lot if tricky wind- conditions. It is great how the team tried its best out of these conditions. Races are always a gamble in such conditions ❤

Why is the ocean race, with boats designed for the southern ocean taking place in the calm of the Mediterranean?

Well, if I were the kind of a mean person, I would say finishing fifth before two boats which are by far not competitive is not something to be too positive about. Putting all this money in and being two places behind Holcim which did not compete in leg one..... But thank God I am not that kind of person.

Mit einem vernünftigen Kurs hättet ihr das wesentlich besser machen können. Man muss nicht immer der Meute hinterher jagen.
