New horizons: A defining year for Team Malizia

From now until the launch in summer 2026, Team Malizia invites us behind the scenes to witness first-hand the design and build of a top performance racing yacht.

Born to Race: Inside the making of Team Malizia’s next IMOCA
The seven-part series follows the strategic, technical and human journey, with exclusive insights from the team, leading experts and key partners. Released on the last Wednesday of each month, the docu-series captures the intensity and creativity behind this ground-breaking project.

Episode one ‘The Vision’ explores the thinking behind the new boat, an unprecedented collaboration in the sailing world. Through the team’s reflections, the opening episode reveals how they balance ambition, innovation, and responsibility, shaped by years of racing in the world’s most demanding conditions. Those experiences have sharpened their understanding of reliability, endurance, and what truly matters.

The launch of the new boat will mark the start of an ambitious offshore racing campaign for Team Malizia. Malizia 4 will go straight into action in The Ocean Race Atlantic, starting on 02 September, before the focus turns to their ultimate goal: The Ocean Race in January 2027.

The Ocean Race Atlantic
The Ocean Race Atlantic is a new transatlantic, fully crewed race from New York to Europe. For the first time, the crew of four will consist of a 50-50 split, two women and two men. The race could produce record-breaking performances, and the transatlantic leg is where Team Malizia set a new 24-hour speed record during the last edition of The Ocean Race. 

Countdown to The Ocean Race 2027
In just under a year, on 17 January 2027, the 15th edition of The Ocean Race will set sail from Alicante, Spain. Widely regarded as one of the greatest challenges in sport, this round-the-world race tests teamwork, resilience, and cutting-edge technology.

It’s an exciting time for Team Malizia and for our partnership. A major year lies ahead and we will be supporting their journey all the way.
