No Rest for the Wicked! A Busy Few Weeks for Team Malizia
So much has happened in just the past two weeks… and there’s no slowing down! From Boris Herrmann ticking off his Route du Rhum qualification and Will Harris sailing an IMOCA solo for the first time, to extending our partnership with SCHÜTZ, preparing Malizia 4 for her first transatlantic crossing and sending our Malizia Explorer research vessel on back-to-back expeditions, there’s plenty to catch up on. And with even more exciting milestones and adventures coming up, here’s a look at what we’ve been up to and what’s next!
