“Je pense à Charlie avec beaucoup de respect. Ce ne sera peut-être qu’avec les années que nous comprendrons pleinement l’ampleur de son immense exploit. Mes pensées vont à sa famille et à ses proches. La classe, l’équipe et moi-même garderons tous une place particulière pour honorer son souvenir.” – Boris Herrmann

Our thoughts are with his wife Perrine, his son, his family, his friends, the teams at MACIF Santé Prévoyance and MerConcept, and all those who worked alongside him, admired him and loved him.

Bon vent Charlie.

When you'll see a brand-new IMOCA hit the water, you'll see the boat.
We'll see the hundreds of people behind it.
Naval architects, boat builders, engineers, electronics specialists, mechanics, sailors and many more. Every detail of our next IMOCA is the result of thousands of hours of work, collaboration and passion.
As we get closer to launch day, we wanted to shine a light on some of the incredible people helping bring this project to life. Because behind every carbon fibre panel, every system and every performance gain, there are human stories. 🫶🏽

Discover the faces behind the build and meet some of the people shaping Team Malizia's next generation race boat.
