Sailing

Steering talent towards success

Unpredictable waters, unwavering support

Sailing requires strength of character, teamwork, and an ability to navigate ever changing environments with skill.

Our association with sailing runs deep. From our commitment to supporting the next generation of talent through provision of valuable life skills and right up to our support for the most competitive levels in sport we are proud to be able to bring the thrill of the race to people across the world.

A Race We Must Win

Team Malizia is supporting the global effort to fight climate change. "A Race We Must Win" carries a double meaning: a sailing team competing to win each race and on a bigger scale, we're all united to win this race against climate change and global warming.
 

My Ocean Challenge

Boris Herrmann and his wife Birte Lorenzen-Herrmann have created ‘My Ocean Challenge’, an inspiring initiative that educates the next generation about the impact of climate change on our oceans. To support this education programme, EFG launched its own volunteering programme in 2022. EFG employees can dedicate one working day per year on full pay to help raise awareness about ocean conservation in schools around the globe.
 

“We are delighted to announce our continued support for Team Malizia and Boris Herrmann, who have already accomplished so much. To compete at the highest level in sport takes strength of character, leadership, and teamwork, all attributes we aspire to share. With their scientific mission to find solutions to ocean and climate change, they will continue to raise awareness for sustainability issues around the globe. We are hugely excited by the prospect of what we can achieve together”

Giorgio Pradelli, CEO of EFG International

“I am proud and honoured to continue this successful and long partnership with EFG who were one of the first companies to join Team Malizia in 2016. Now we have an exciting 5 years planned together taking in some of the most iconic round the world races, The Ocean Race 2023 and The Vendée Globe 2024"

Boris Herrmann, Skipper of Team Malizia
