Boris Herrmann Off To A Good Start in New York Vendée Race

The Malizia - Seaexplorer took the start in his second transatlantic crossing of the year earlier today. The Team Malizia skipper is competing against 27 IMOCA sailors in the New York Vendée solo race, heading back to France across the Atlantic. Off to a good start, he will race 3,200 nautical miles in what is the final major test before the Vendée Globe round-the-world solo race next November.
