Stanjek assumes the role of skipper
While Boris Herrmann (Team Malizia) is injured and Susann Beucke (Holcim) is on board for the first time, the two other German participants are continuing their first offshore race today with Team Europe. The Berliners Robert Stanjek and Phillip Kasüske are on board the environment Guyot, who finished the first stage in fifth place.
Stanjek resumes the role of skipper in stage 2 as planned. The exams are different from the first section. It is now a matter of crossing the equator as quickly as possible in light winds. Only then will the Imoca yachts rise on their foils in the southern trade winds for longer periods and fly towards Cape Town on their wings.
