Flying By Kiel - Day 1 - Leg 6 - The Ocean Race

What an emotional moment in Kiel! Friday Fly By in Kiel attracts enormous crowds to cheer on IMOCA fleet. “I used to live in Kiel, I finished my studies there, I sailed and trained a lot there, so I have a great connection to the city," Herrmann said in anticipation of today's events. "I also experienced The Ocean Race myself there in 2002 with the legendary victory of the illbruck. I was on the water and remember that day as if it was yesterday." Yesterday, The Ocean Race returned to Kiel for a Friday afternoon Fly By, and the crowds were out in force to cheer on Herrmann, now the skipper of Team Malizia. "Racing into the Kieler Innenförde with my team and boat, after having sailed around the world, and seeing the many fans expected there is something I am really looking forward to," he said on Thursday before leaving Aarhus, Denmark. "Look at how many boats there are, it's unbelievable," Herrmann said over the television feed with a big smile as his team made their way up the fjord. "This is very, very nice. This moment has been a big motivation for us the entire race." 🎥 Shot and Edit by Antoine Auriol I Team Malizia 🗺️ Race Tracker: https://www.team-malizia.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Follow Our Team On Social Media: ⬇️ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/team_malizia/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/borisherrmann Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/teammalizia/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@team_malizia LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/team... #teammalizia #theoceanrace #offshoreracing #sailing #aracewemustwin #climateactionnow #imoca #willharris #borisherrmann #rosalinkuiper #AxellePillain
