Remember, a month ago (we were in March 2020), we announced a change of direction taken by Grégoire Chéron. Press attaché for skippers and adventurers, he has decided to take the sporting step that separates him from those he accompanies, and embark on the adventure of the Mini Transat 2020.
In the first episode, Grégoire found his boat, and in this new episode he sets about launching it. But as the transporter takes the boat from Hennebont to Concarneau âeuros its new home port âeuros the hull is damaged, with a deep rut. Nothing too serious, but will be quickly repaired in a boatyard.
Masting, discovering the interior of your Mini - no mean feat when you're 2 m tall - inventory of equipment, sail checks... There's a bit of work to do before launching.
Then it's time to head for the dry dock and bring his boat up to the pontoon, the same pontoon where Stanislas Thuret's Class40 Everial is moored, and where he's quick to offer Grégoire his advice.
The adventure can now beginâeuros!
