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!
