IMOCA 60 Malizia-Seaexplorer

Malizia-Seaexplorer (3) or Team Malizia (3), is an IMOCA 60 monohull sailing yacht, designed by VPLP and Boris Herrmann[1] and constructed by Multiplast in France and launched on 19 July 2022.

[2][3] During The Ocean Race 2023, the ship reached a new unofficial 24 hour distance record for monohulls with 640,70 nautical miles travelled.

A high freeline also adds to the volume, allowing weight saves in the ballast bulb as this improves the boats capability to self-right during a 110° test.

[5] Due to the increasing forces added through the foils and higher speeds, the Malizia-Seaexplorers hull is built from solid carbon fibre without a foam or honeycomb core.

Additional living area is behind the cockpit adding even more volume to the boat and allowing for more weight in the back, reducing wave diving even more.

Herrmann severely burned his food with hot water and therefore had to suspend for the second leg due to fears of infection.

[13] During the fifth leg Team Malizia broke the record of the farthest distance travelled in 24 hours by a monohull sailboat.
