What a feeling to finally arrive here in Guadeloupe after 10 days and 20 hours at sea! I'm incredibly happy and proud of this second place, my best result ever in the Route du Rhum!

What a race it has been! From incredible high-speed sailing to endless hours with almost no wind, so many surprises, some difficult moments and a really exciting battle until the very end. I'm very happy to be here now, and even happier with this result!

But most of all, I'm very, very proud of our team. 

This was a great race, which I raced solo, but it's the team that did an incredible job delivering a perfect boat. We didn't break anything really, she's absolutely reliable, has the potential and is fast in any way. That's very unique!

It's been a long and intense journey, from building and launching Malizia 4 just a few months ago, to testing her, crossing the Atlantic twice and now racing her solo. More than 15,000 nautical miles in just over four months on this amazing boat!
Everyone has given everything to make this result possible, and I really want to thank every single person in our team, our partners and all of you who have been following and supporting us along the way. It means a lot to me!

And congratulations to Corentin for his fantastic victory, and to all the other skippers for this incredible race!
This Route du Rhum gives me so much confidence in Malizia 4 and great motivation for the next chapter, The Ocean Race around the world in January.
But now it's time to celebrate!!! 
Thank you all, from a very happy Boris in Guadeloupe
