Boris Herrmann's daring ride: on the way to the storm chaos!

Indischer Ozean, Australien - The Vendée Globe is heading for dramatic challenges. On December 12, 2024, the Hamburg Boris Herrmann and his yacht Malizia - Seaexplorer passed the important Cape Leeuwin. His use lasted 32 days, 4 hours, 20 minutes and 54 seconds, which catapulted him into the top ten of the regatta. Herrmann praises his team joy: "It is a great success for Team Malizia to be here. I feel good. We are now going to the next Cape!" Despite its position as tenth, the weather remains a great imponderability, since a storm is imminent on Monday, which Herrmann looks at with concern. "Wish us the best of luck if you go to the office," he called to his supporters, while the competition is only a few nautical miles behind him in the starting blocks.

Beautiful Charlie Dalin (Macif Santé Prévroyance) continues the fleet with an impressive distance to his persecutors. Shortly after Herrmann's passage, Dalin also successfully rounded up the 50th latitude and immersed the Pacific while he was fighting for his top position at the same time. Yoann Richomme (Paprec Arkéa), in second place, is increasingly pushing himself closer to Dalin and says: "He has a sag, I will catch up with him." In the case of wind speeds of about 18 knots, it will soon be shown whether Richommes leads to success, such as yacht.de

The nerves are bare during this extreme competition break, as the weather can quickly turn into these waters. Herrmann, who lies a total of 970 nautical miles behind Dalin, relies on a quick reaction to the upcoming weather conditions that could possibly decide on victory or defeat. In strong contrast, Sebastien Simon (Groupe Dubreuil), who suffers from a broken foil, fights with his own challenges and endangers his position as a pursuer. The situation is increasingly tense due to the tight distances and the unpredictable conditions, as in the live blog of
