Hamburg/Munich. Successful yacht “Malizia” in front of the Hanseatic city’s iconic symbol, the Elbphilharmonie: One week after the victory at the Atlantic Anniversary Regatta, skipper Boris Herrmann presented Team Malizia’s Vendée Globe campaign to the media in his home city today. It was the first time that the IMOCA 60 racing yacht was on display in Hamburg, the “gateway to the world”. In 2020, Herrmann will become the first German to take on one of the greatest and toughest challenges in yachting: 25,000 nautical miles around the globe, solo, nonstop, and without external support. BMW is on board as team partner with their automotive construction expertise and experience of transferring technology to competitive sailing. The “Malizia” sails under the standard of the Yacht Club de Monaco (YCM). The vice president of the YSM, Pierre Casiraghi, is the youngest son of Princess Caroline of Monaco, regularly sails with Herrmann and was also present in Hamburg.

Herrmann and Casiraghi presented the “Malizia”, an almost 20-metre Open 60 class racing yacht, to children, sailing fans, journalist and sponsors in detail, spoke about the great challenge of the “Vendée Globe” and presented the climate research and educational project “Malizia Ocean Challenge”.

“Today is a very special day in my sailing career, because this very special yacht is in my home city for the first time. The fact that our yacht is in front of this iconic backdrop makes us very proud,” said Herrmann. “Hamburg is no world metropolis like Berlin, for example, but it is the gateway to the world and very cosmopolitan. Which is an excellent match for the Vendée Globe.”

In the evening, the “Malizia” was hoisted out by crane and placed in front of the spectacular Elbphilharmonie building in the “Platz der Deutschen Einheit” (German unity square). BMW and the Elbphilharmonie have enjoyed a cooperative, long-term collaboration for many years.

CO2 emission information.

Fuel consumption, CO2 emission figures and power consumption and range were measured using the methods required according to Regulation VO (EC) 2007/715 as amended. They refer to vehicles on the German automotive market. For ranges, the NEDC figures take into account differences in the selected wheel and tyre size, while the WLTP figures take into account the effects of any optional equipment.

All figures have already been calculated based on the new WLTP test cycle. NEDC figures listed have been adjusted to the NEDC measurement method where applicable. WLTP values are used as a basis for the assessment of taxes and other vehicle-related duties which are (also) based on CO2 emissions and, where applicable, for the purposes of vehicle-specific subsidies. Further information on the WLTP and NEDC measurement procedures is also available at www.bmw.de/wltp.

For further details of the official fuel consumption figures and official specific CO2 emissions of new cars, please refer to the “Manual on the fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and power consumption of new cars”, available at sales outlets free of charge, from Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH (DAT), Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen and at https://www.dat.de/co2/.
