Hervé Favre website for the 2001 mini-transat

 

 

 

Hervé is qualified.... a nice race already won!


For the next edition of the Mini-Transat, one important thing is also to be on the starting lane. This is Hervé's first winning bet! Because a lot of competitors will be left on the pontoons...

The place are limited to 55: 25 serials, 25 protos and 5 guests chosen between the organiser and the Mini Class.

After the Grand-Pavois race, 15 serials boats (Hervé amongst them) and 21 prototypes were qualified, having sailed 1000 miles on the compulsory course and 1000 miles racing.

Amongst this 36 qualified, we note the presence of a lot of foreigners:

- 5 british, 1 american, 1scottish and 1 swiss (Hervé) who are part of the English Mini-Class which becomes quite active.

- 1 franco-canadian, 1 cap-verian, 1 maltian, 1 italian and 2 belgiums.

You can read more about the subject on sail-online or on the website of the class-mini.
