Team Malizia Deploys Weather Buoy En Route To New York
As they deliver Malizia 4 to New York ahead of The Ocean Race Atlantic, Team Malizia’s crew has deployed a weather buoy in the North Atlantic. The scientific instrument will now drift with the Ocean currents, collecting data that is vital for improving weather forecasts and monitoring climate change. While our team has carried scientific equipment aboard our IMOCA yachts since 2018, this marks the very first weather buoy deployment from our brand-new Malizia 4.

Since 2018, every race, training or delivery is an opportunity Team Malizia takes to contribute to Ocean and climate research
