Paul Meilhat’s French-flagged IMOCA Biotherm has won the fifth and final stage of The Ocean Race Europe – the 1,600-nautical mile leg from Genova, Italy to Boka Bay in Montenegro – and in doing so has confirmed a spectacular overall win in the five-week, 4,500-nm race around Europe. I think it is really important to be really focused and this year The Ocean Race Europe was our only goal. I am really, really happy for the team. I am proud of us and proud of the shore team as well.”With Biotherm navigator Sam Goodchild (GBR) not on board for the final leg, it was Grassi who stepped into the navigation role. “It’s an amazing achievement for the team to be here so we are really happy to finish this final leg in third place,” said Team Malizia navigator Will Harris (GBR).
