About :
The German Boris Herrmann is something like the winner of the hearts of this year's Vendée Globe, the toughest sailing regatta in the world. The charismatic Hamburg native turned the race into a captivating sporting and media event: In 80 days, the Vendée Globe takes you around the globe and through every climate, wind and weather condition you can imagine. The sailors are on their own in their boat. Things could hardly have gone more dramatically for Boris Herrmann: As the first German to ever take part in the toughest regatta in the world, he was still on course for a podium finish around 160 km from the finish. Then he collided with a fishing trawler in the middle of the night, but managed to save himself and his damaged boat and make it to the finish. He finished the race in 5th place, an extraordinary achievement. Here you can relive the story of this year's Vendée Globe with Boris Herrmann in our exciting 13-part documentary series: https://kurz.zdf.de/Lpg/ Subscribe to ZDFsport?

For years he trained with the French single-handed elite for the toughest race of his life. The course of the #VendéeGlobe with its Southern Ocean passages is 24,296 nautical miles (that's the equivalent of 44,996 kilometers) long and difficult to manage due to heavy storms and house-high waves. In the past, numerous sailors have not reached the finish. Armel Le Cléac'h set the record for the fastest Vendée Globe round in 2017 with 74 days, 3 hours and 36 minutes. In this year's race, 27 male and six female skippers took part in the attempt to complete the circumnavigation of the world alone, without stopping and without outside help. The course took the fleet from France across the Atlantic down to the Southern Ocean, along the three large capes - the Cape of Good Hope, Cape Leuwin and Cape Horn - and back up the Atlantic to the start and finish port of Les Sables-d'Olonne. The French single-handed classic is one of the four most important sailing races in the world, alongside the America's Cup, the Ocean Race and the Olympic Regatta. The ZDF SPORT reportage has accompanied the non-stop regatta in many facets from the start and supported it with film updates. Nils Kaben and Hermann Valkyser summarize the race with its fascinating images and impressive moments with the emotions of the sailors and a personal conclusion from Boris Herrmann.
