Boris Herrmann ahead of Leg 5: “We Have Everything To Race For”
Leg 5 of The Ocean Race starts this Sunday 21 May at 14:15 local time (18:15 UTC, 20:15 CEST) and will see Team Malizia race towards Aarhus, Denmark. This 3,500 nautical mile transatlantic race back to Europe counts for double points, and 3 teams including Team Malizia are currently only separated by one point at the top of the scoreboard. Boris Herrmann is back as skipper and confident in Team Malizia’s chances at scoring a strong result.
