Hervé Favre website for the 2001 mini-transat

 

 

 

27 avril 2001 : Challenge-Mini.


The last day of the Mini-Challenge was quite windy. As Hervé only found one crew, he decided to stay in the Marina.

This was not such a bad decision as four boats came back quickly afterwards after having suffered damages due to a collision or foul grounding.

Even if the result is not amazing, Hervé learnt a lot about the sail tuning thanks to the advice from Stephane Nevé of Incidences. After the new anti-fouling, the speed on the boat should be much better and we should see less difference with the first ones.

Children Action will now be dried out. She will get a new anti-fouling and a new rigging (shrouds, forestay and backstay).The next race will take place on 5th May at la Baule (300 miles solo).
