From the shore team’s tireless work on land to the crew’s relentless effort at sea, this episode shows the heart of Team Malizia during Leg 4 of The Ocean Race Europe. The big positive from this leg, despite the setback, is that we kept our spirits high and really enjoyed the sailing. Even when it became clear we couldn’t catch the Canadians, we pushed the boat to the max, proof of our great team spirit. We are a diverse mix of nationalities and cultures, and for Loïs and Cole this is their very first major IMOCA season. Everything is new and exciting, and yet no one loses motivation just because we’re further back. We fight to the very end, with full commitment. Of course, slipping into sixth place was tough to swallow, but 24 hours later, the frustration is gone. We’re proud of the way we raced, and more motivated than ever to come back strong in the next leg. ⚡ Watch the episode to see the highs, the challenges, and the unbeatable Malizia spirit from Nice to Genova.
