Will Harris: “We Can Expect Some Close Racing In Leg 4”
After their win in Leg 3 of The Ocean Race, Team Malizia is about to set sail for a race back to the Northern Hemisphere, more motivated than ever to perform well and score crucial points. This Sunday 23 April, the 5 IMOCA crews will leave Itajaí towards Newport, USA. With Boris Herrmann’s planned departure back home for this leg, Will Harris takes over the role of skipper for the second time in the race. He will be joined by co-skippers Nico Lunven, Rosalin Kuiper as well as the new addition of experienced French IMOCA sailor Christopher Pratt. Antoine Auriol will be back as onboard reporter for the fourth leg.
