Pierre Casiraghi and Boris Herrmann of Monaco Yacht Club Reveal their New Racing Wonder – Malizia III

It seems only yesterday that Boris Herrmann was pushing himself to the limit in the around the world yacht race , the Vendée Globe — an extreme quest of individual endurance and the ultimate test in ocean racing . When the race is next run in 2024 everyone hopes Covid is a distant memory — and the plan is that the fame and success of Malizia II will be superceded by Malizia III even though the damage to Malizia II was all repairable — nothing structural . Always thinking about the health of the environment , particularly the oceans , the boat will have a mini-laboratory installed , the dimensions of a 17 kg suitcase , to permanently and very carefully monitor the level of Carbon Dioxide in the water . Seven partners including the Yacht Club and the EFG bank based in Monaco are involved in this multi-million euro project designed by Sebastien Josse . All in all , the 18-metre boat is about two-thirds finished in construction . The launch will be on July 19 , 2022 in Lo Rient ( Morbihan ). And then excitement will build qualifying for the Route du Rhum .
