Boris Reports Damage to Port Foil - Day 67 - Vendée Globe

It's been a challenging day onboard Malizia-Seaexplorer! After discovering significant damage to the port foil, Boris Herrmann worked tirelessly to find and execute a solution. Using a grinder, he cut away damaged sections of the foil skin and was able to retract the foil 80%, securing it with lines to limit movement. Though not perfect, Boris remains optimistic: "So far, so good. I think we'll make it to the finish without major difficulties." With speeds now capped at 12-13 knots, Boris is focused on navigating the remaining miles safely. Despite the setback, his determination to keep racing is unwavering!
