Storm Ciaran Forces A New Start Date for Team Malizia and Boris Herrmann in The Transat Jacques Vabre

Boris Herrmann and Will Harris have a new start date confirmed for 7th November 2023 - the duo will sail Malizia - Seaexplorer in the Transat Jacques Vabre Normandie Le Havre 2023. The start was postponed last Sunday due to extreme weather conditions. This is the second time the pair will compete in this race and the first time they will confront all the new IMOCA boats. As they race from northern France to Martinique, the pair will deploy scientific instruments and collect valuable Ocean data to further climate research.
