A Lifelong Journey to the Vendée Globe
As the 2024 Vendée Globe approaches, Boris Herrmann reflects on his long and winding journey to participate in one of the most grueling solo races in the world. Set to begin on November 10th, this will be Boris’ second Vendée Globe, but his passion for sailing, and for this particular race, began long before he first took to the starting line.
