1 September 2026 marks the start of the Ocean Race Atlantic – a top-class transatlantic sprint featuring foiling IMOCA yachts. Team Malizia, led by Boris Herrmann, will of course be taking part.

What’s particularly exciting is that each crew must consist of an equal number of women and men – a milestone for gender equality in offshore racing. During the race, the teams collect important climate data and set an example for sustainability and ocean conservation.
