Modern offshore race yachts are no longer driven by wind alone, they become alive. Beneath the deck lies an entire technological ecosystem: autopilots steering across oceans, sensors monitoring loads and performance in real time, radar and artificial intelligence helping detect obstacles at sea, and complex energy systems powering life onboard for weeks at a time. Every component must communicate reliably, operate efficiently under extreme conditions, withstand impacts, saltwater and humidity, and fit within tight constraints of weight, power consumption and space. Behind the scenes, sailors, engineers, technical partners and designers work together to build an onboard environment capable of supporting both performance and safety offshore. In this episode, we take you for a dive into the cutting-edge onboard technology that makes this race yacht come alive. Missed the first 4 episodes ?

Heavy breeze, big waves, full send 🌊 The Petit Tour de Belle-Île delivered proper GC32 conditions today. 🌬️ Second on the finish line, good training, intense action and a fun time for all! Less than two months to go until we launch and get to sail on our new IMOCA 🤩

At the core of every sailing yacht, no matter how advanced, lies a simple fact: it is powered by the wind through its sails. But within that simplicity, racing teams like Team Malizia constantly keep improving how efficiently that wind can be turned into speed. 🌬️ 🏎️ Every part of the sail plan plays a role: shape, structure, materials, weight, durability, sustainability… But sails are only part of the picture. Their performance also depends on how they work together, how they are adjusted for different conditions, the loads they need to handle, and the rope systems that allow sailors to trim, hoist, reef, and adapt throughout a race. 🏁 Episode 4 – Powered By The Wind explores how Team Malizia is approaching this essential interface between yacht and wind as they design and build their new IMOCA race yacht. ⛵️ Missed the first 3 episodes ?

We are in a race against time. And it’s a race we must win. At Team Malizia, racing has always meant more than crossing the finish line first. We push ourselves to compete at the highest level of offshore sailing, but we are also part of something much bigger. A race that concerns every one of us: the race against climate change. Every mile we sail, every project we create, every story we share is guided by one belief: we must be bold, we must innovate, and we must never give up. We don’t believe in waiting for perfect solutions. We believe in taking action. Because when it comes to protecting our Ocean and our planet, every step forward matters. Big or small, each action adds up, and together, we can create real change. As we prepare to launch our new boat, take on new races, and grow our projects, our mission remains the same: to use the power of sport, science and storytelling to inspire ambitious climate action. Dream big with us. Be part of the race. This is who we are. This is what drives us. And this is only the beginning. Stay tuned. © Flore Hartout I Team Malizia ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Follow Our Team On Social Media: ⬇️ Instagram Team Malizia: https://www.instagram.com/team_malizia/ Instagram Boris Herrmann: https://www.instagram.com/borisherrmannracing/ Facebook Team Malizia: https://www.facebook.com/teammalizia/ Facebook Boris Herrmann Racing: https://www.facebook.com/borisherrmannracing/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@team_malizia LinkedIn Boris Herrmann: https://www.linkedin.com/in/boris-herrmann/ LinkedIn Team Malizia: https://www.linkedin.com/company/14832074 #borisherrmann #teammalizia #imoca #imocaglobeseries #offshoresailing #sailing #racing #aracewemustwin #climateactionnow #BorntoRace #foiling #foilingeneration #ARaceWeMustWin #TeamMalizia

Foils are everywhere. From IMOCA to Olympic sailing sports using foils, the sport of “flying above water” has become mainstream. For Team Malizia, foiling has been part of our DNA from the very beginning. Starting with a GC32 catamaran and moving on to IMOCA boats, our crew has always tried to unlock new speeds. From how foils work to the challenges of designing and mastering them, the episode explores the technology reshaping IMOCA racing and watersports alike, and offers an inside look at how Team Malizia is driving performance forward. 🏎️ Episode 3 – Foiling Generation continues the Born to Race journey, where ideas lift off the drawing board and become a high-flying, next-generation IMOCA. ✍🏼 Missed the start?

How do you design a boat that never stops moving? In the second episode of our 7-part docu-series, we take you behind the scenes of our new IMOCA build to explore the intersection of fluid dynamics and human endurance. Performance offshore isn't just about top speed, it’s about how the hull reacts to the sea and how the sailors react to the boat. ⛵️ This episode focuses on how these realities translate into design decisions. Hull shape, structure, and weight distribution define how the boat accelerates, lifts, and responds to the sea, while ergonomics determine how efficiently sailors can handle it over days and weeks at sea. Designing performance therefore means working both outside and inside the boat, balancing speed, control, endurance, and reliability within the constraints of the IMOCA class. From the first sketch to the reality of the boatyard, see how every millimeter of the new IMOCA is engineered for the ultimate goal: The Vendée Globe. 🌍🏆 Missed the start?
