Topics in this article

It is held every four years: the Vendée Globe. During the regatta, the participants cover around 45,000 kilometres across the world's oceans. Jochen Rieker is live on site and explains what has been happening there over the last few days and gives an outlook on the tenth edition of the non-stop regatta.

The latest episode focuses on the small but crucial details that characterise the competitors' yachts - from the unusual ideas on Boris Herrmann's "Malizia - Seaexplorer" to the cockpit designs of rivals Sam Davies and Yoann Richomme.

Preparation for the Vendée Globe 2024

A central point of the episode is Boris Herrmann's preparation for the regatta. With the clear goal of performing better than ever before and perhaps even becoming the first non-Frenchman to win, he shows ambition and determination, as Jochen Rieker finds. In the 24th episode of the podcast, the YACHT editor reveals just how good his chances are.

He also explains how and why Boris Herrmann isolates himself before the Vendée Globe and mentally prepares himself for the challenge. Podcast host Timm Kruse and Jochen Rieker shed light on the potential challenges and opportunities of the new communication options during the race. They also talk about the developments of the "Malizia - Seaexplorer".

Sustainability and code of honour at the regatta

In addition to the technical aspects, Timm Kruse and Jochen Rieker also look at sustainability in ocean racing and the benefits of new materials. And what's the code of honour all about? The pair answer these and other questions about the regatta in the new episode "Insights on the Vendée Globe 2024 - with Jochen Rieker".
