“What A Year, What A Race” Boris Herrmann Happy About Fourth-Place Finish In Retour à La Base
Team Malizia’s skipper Boris Herrmann crossed the line of the Retour à La Base transatlantic solo race in fourth position this Sunday 10 December 2023. The German sailed 4,490 nautical miles from the Caribbean to Brittany, overcame a series of issues, managed to hold on to his place, and to achieve a top 5 finish in his first solo race of the year. After an intense 2023 season, this performance gave the offshore sailor and his team a good boost of energy and motivation for the year ahead.
