In this week's episode of the Malizia Vendée Show, Holly Cova is joined by Will Harris and Cole Brauer as Boris Herrmann battles extreme conditions in the North Atlantic, closing in on the Vendée Globe finish - First streamed live on 01/27/2025

The brutal weather Boris is facing is the main topic of conversation this week - massive waves, gusts up to 65 knots, and a challenging route to the finish in Les Sables-d’Olonne. Will explains the unpredictable storm systems rolling through, making the final approach a tactical and physical challenge. Cole, still sailing in the Southern Ocean, shares her own experience with wild conditions, including a chaotic moment mid-show when she had to rush off to deal with an autopilot issue.

Despite everything, Boris remains incredibly positive, even asking Cole for Netflix recommendations to pass the time. The team discusses his resilience, the mental game of offshore racing, and the importance of simply finishing after such a demanding race. With uncertainty around when and how Boris will cross the line - especially given rough conditions that could delay his arrival - the team is keeping a close eye on the forecast, ready to welcome him home whenever he makes it in.
