Thank you Boat Books for being the official supplier of charts and publications for Richard Hewson 2013 Mini Transat Race.
The Mini Transat is unique in that it is probably the only offshore race left in the world where no computer aids, graphical gps or sat comms are not allowed, so its back to the Almanac, Paper Charts, Compass, Barometer and even Sextant to navigate and win the ultimate in offshore racing – the Mini Transat
Boat Books support is greatly appreciated as official supplier of the very tools required to use precision navigation to win this amazing race.
