On July 6th 2013 a group of sailors are going to do something that has never been done before … participate in the first ever Mini 650 Pacific Challenge.The race is going to be sailed on Mini Transats, a 21 foot offshore sailboat. The sailors are going to be saiing non-stop, single handed, across more than 2,200 nautical miles of Pacific Ocean.
The race will have LIVE tracking that will enable the sailing community to be able to watch the battle on the water.
The Minis, being very equal in boat speed, gives the Mini 650 Pacific Challenge the excitement of an inshore one-design race combined with the jeopardy of a round the world contest.
It’s not because that they are small that they are slow.
