D day -50 The start is approaching, it's preparation time.

Children Action is still based in Portsmouth. Hervé will definitely leave the UK on the 25th August (he has lived there for the last 3 years) and will sail to the start in La Rochelle.

The schedule is really busy. Letters, repairs and orders of new material, preparation of the articles which will appear on the website during the race, meetings with journalists.There has been also a sticker phase! You can have a look at the results!

 

We also learned that the christener of the Transat 6.50 will be Ellen MacArthur. We were really pleased with this news because Ellen came to share some pasta in our house (with olive oil and parmesan, of course!) the evening when Hervé officially qualified for the Mini-Transat...

Each week-end, the family sails on Children Action. We also walk along pontoons to see some magnificent Open 60 (and in particular Ellen's Kingfisher).

At the Sea Sail Surf trophy (the equivalent of the ATP ranking in tennis) Hervé is ranked 11th.
