Boris Herrmann Claims Outstanding Second Place In Thrilling Route du Rhum 2026
After an intense transatlantic battle in unusually challenging conditions, Boris Herrmann brings Team Malizia’s brand-new IMOCA Malizia 4 to an impressive second place in one of the world’s most iconic single-handed races. The Route du Rhum – Destination Guadeloupe 2026 marked the first solo outing for the newly built yacht, and his best-ever result in the event.
