Web series / Without a wind indicator, Hugo finished 7th in the SAS


7th position for Hugo in this last stage of the SAS. A Mini 6.50 race that the Youtuber tells us in detail, not hesitating to film the moments of galley.

François-Xavier Ricardou Published on

Last step of the SAS for the Mini 1014 with Hugo on board. The Sailing Frenchman fights on a complicated course with tough weather. Between 30 knots of wind and a strong sea and calm, this stage will be tough for the sailors.

In his videos, Hugo shares with great care, the daily life of a sailor in a Mini. His choices of trajectory, his doubts, his pleasures especially. It is clear from these images that life on board is far from being restful, and that it requires being attentive at all times.

In the end, Hugo manages to progress. He's going to cross the line in 7th position. A learning process which requires wisdom not to break the boat, but which Hugo manages to hold on to.
