Boris Herrmann Takes on Solo Challenge Across the North Atlantic in Transat CIC
This Sunday, Team Malizia’s skipper Boris Herrmann will kick off this year's solo racing season by competing in the Transat CIC, a 3,500 nautical mile sprint from Lorient to New York City. With a set of new foils, improved ergonomics aboard his Malizia - Seaexplorer, and the hunger to sail alone again, Boris Herrmann is ready to face the rough conditions of the North Atlantic and check off the Vendée Globe qualification from his list.
