Malizia Vendée Show Episode 8

[@ColinMcInnes-i5n]

Thanks again Holly for a fabulous very entertaining show. The ‘Q & A’ section was really fascinating with the three of you using your own personal experiences to give answers. I found the last question most interesting as it is hard to appreciate the sudden change from solo sailing to being surrounded by family, media, traffic etc.I remember reading about how submariners returning from a long patrol find the simple act of walking down a town street very stressful, which is a similar situation. Will’s analysis of the weather and possible strategies was very concise and clear and it will be an interesting week to see how the race develops. GO BORIS!! 🌬️💨💨Thanks again to all involved. Can’t wait for episode 9!! 👏

Awesome chat, would love to hear the half an hour talk from Will about the routes ;)

[@dk_rd3899]

I could listen to Will’s analysis for hours. Thank you so much team. Happy new year!

[@teammalizia]

He's the best, isn't he? ☺️

Thanks Holly, Will and cole. Great show as usual. Happy New year.

[@teammalizia]

Thanks for tuning in ☺️

[@jonathanairey9123]

Super enjoyable. Keep it up guys. We all love the analysis ofcourse. Will, maybe you could review the weather and routing options twice a week, now they are in the Atlantic??

[@teammalizia]

Honestly we'd all love that too, but Will's pretty busy with his new baby 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@klahul]

[@teammalizia]

Maybe not everyone following Boris sails, but I would love a bit more about the sails onboard (Boris' wardrobe selected for the VG), and the likely or actual sail/reef selection for the conditions at the time, and just ahead.

Aber allen, ein frohes neues Jahr ❤

Malizia sea-explorer - a horse - that makes Boris a cowboy?! Nice image 😂

[@teammalizia]

Ha! I'm not convinced he'd make a good cowboy 🤠😂

[@jonathanairey9123]

Another Q from me. Looking at the tracker visually, it seems that Paul, who has now got away from this head to wind group, can get a few degrees higher for the same speed than the others. Is BioTherm better optimised for these conditions, and how? Also, Boris seems at a distinct disadvantage on port tack, when close and in the same air as the others around him. We know he lost yaw control on the foils, so is this the problem, and why a problem on port tack only?. Thanks team, great job.

[@teammalizia]

Hey Jonathan, I love these thoughtful questions! Honestly waaaay above my pay grade though 😂 But I'll make a note of this and put it to Will on Monday - I'd ask him now but he's a bit busy with the new baby ☺️

[@floodo1]

really gonna miss this series when the race is over. PS- ballpark, how many people work at Team Malizia? And how does that compare with other teams? And how does this compare over time?

[@teammalizia]

Me too! I'll ask Holly if we can keep it going 😉 In terms of our team size you can find lots of info about our team here www.team-malizia.com/category/team - I can't really speak to the size of other teams, these things are often changing ☺️

Oh no. Looking again at the tracker this morning left me a bit disappointed. You are a great team, you have a great boat, a great campaign and a great captain. When will you start racing not just sailing? The others up to place 5 are near. Take the chance please. It might not come again.

[@jonathanairey9123]

Also Will, did we review how the top (new) boats and leaders are designed/optimised differently, and in which conditions Boris may have a slight advantage or disadvantage? It would good to hear, or point to a good summary/comparison somewhere.

[@teammalizia]

This is another great question, I'll forward to the team for the next time we do a Q&A episode 😉

[@lifesailinc.7886]

So what brand heate blanket dose Borris use?

[@teammalizia]

I think it was from Amazon.... 😂

[@doriskaiser6463]

You are a professionell team with interesting news - but bad microphons and different volumes. Please check and change it.😊

[@hauke3644]

Are offshore seagulls not stealing sandwiches out of your hand?

[@teammalizia]

Haha they could try 😂
