Sailing star Herrmann is thinking about reaching into his bag of tricks

In the gripping head-to-head race on the queen’s stage of the Ocean Race, sailing star Boris Herrmann (41) is thinking about reaching into his bag of tricks.

“Just to check: can we throw banana peels?” Wrote the skipper of the Seaexplorer with a wink on Twitter – and posted a picture of the Holcim – PRB yacht in the immediate vicinity.

On the home straight of the third stage to Itajai (Brazil), however, it doesn’t look like Holcim will slip – on Friday morning the team pushed past Herrmann.

“It’s so crazy after 12,000 nautical miles,” said his co-skipper Rosalin Kuiper about the exciting decision. Herrmann and Co. will probably cross the finish line on Sunday or Monday.
