An extraordinary programme ! Today, it is with great joy that I announce this partnership with Mirabaud, giving the go-ahead to operations that will enable me to be at the starting line with Michèle in Barcelona on 31 December 2010, under the best condi- tions possible. One year later we will be in Le Havre, and finally, at the Sables d’Olonne in 2012 for the Vendée Globe. On the programme: one transatlantic, two round-the- world races, 200 days at sea and 90,000 nautical miles. Still, one might ask : why ? My answer is simple : after se- ven round-the-world races and over 360,000 nautical miles in my sailor’s log, my ambitions are intact and my thirst is as intense as ever ! Today, I embark on this three- year programme with enormous energy and enthusiasm. I am thrilled to be returning to sea on one of the Fabu- lous IMOCA Open 60 yachts and to complete a venture that I was forced to abandon in the southern seas during the last Vendée Globe.

    Press Kit The Mission Our project has three main pillars, sailing science and education. Team Malizia was founded by Monegasque Pierre Casiraghi and German skipper Boris Herrmann in 2016 with the aim for Boris to perform at the highest level in the Vendee Globe 2020 race solo around the world. Beside the sporting aim, we have a strong message around climate change and ocean protection. Our ocean educators created a kids kit in 6 languages to educate kids around the world about what is happening in our oceans. We have partnerships with leading scientific bodies in order to further research on ocean Co2 and we carry an onboard ocean laboratory to measure valuable ocean data. In 2019 we hit world news by sailing Greta Thunberg emission free across the Atlantic to the UN Climate Action Conference. www.myoceanchallenge.org BORIS HERRMANN PIERRE CASIRAGHI The Skipper 39 year old Boris Herrmann has been dreaming of this challenge his whole life and on the 8th November 2020 he will become the first German to compete in the Vendee Globe. Born in Germany but raised on the water, Boris spent much of his life sailing with his family and took every free moment to sail or compete. Boris completed his first mini transit at 18 but rather than only pursue a career in sailing, he took the time to study and he obtained a Business MBA. Boris’ passion for sailing created his passion for the ocean which led to his desire to create The Ocean Challenge - to bring the oceans to the schools and to sensitise children to protect the ocean.
