Returning to the Northern hemisphere, Boris Herrmann, skipper of Team Malizia, marks a major milestone in his Vendée Globe journey.

Setting an end to his southern diversion, Boris Herrmann, Team Malizia's proficient skipper, remarkably crossed the Equator and returned to the Terran northern half, ticking off one of the final milestones in the Vendée Globe race course. Herrmann, sailing over the virtual boundary in 9th place, stays attentive and focused on the remaining 3,200 nautical miles and the skirmish to break into the list's top five. Stepping into the Southern Hemisphere back in November 2024, he mastered 52 days of its demanding waters. His commitment and intensity only amplified despite a tumultuous week faced with a range of hurdles, from rigging issues to lightning damage. Herrmann proved his unyielding spirit by not only overcoming these physical challenges but also by staying true to his course. As he braces for the home stretch, the competition remains robust. Even with Charlie Dalin breaking the race record, Herrmann remains unfazed, his gaze honed on the final push. Embodying true grit and passion, he is undeterred, ready to take on every mile until the final whistle blows. A testament to their mission 'A Race We Must Win - Climate Action Now!', his journey is a symbol of Team Malizia's resolve and commitment to their cause, backed by the efforts of their main partners.
