Latest update for the Mini Transat 2013. Tonight all the yachts will sail to Sada where we will prepair for a start to race 3800nm across the Atlantic Ocean directly to Guadalupe without any stops! This will be the longest course ever in Mini Transat history, and I am pumped!
The race is scheduled to start from Sada on the 11th of November, and we can expect to be at sea in a 21 foot boat for up to one month, this means taking all our food and water for over a month, its going to be epic!
