No choice, to perform in Mini (as often in sailboat), we must train. And what could be more effective than to measure yourself against other competitors? Hugo, whose boat is based in Pornichet, chooses to go down to La Rochelle to prepare himself with the local training center.
But who says displacement says also convoying. Indeed, he has to sail nearly 100 miles to reach the port of Les Pertuis. Each of these convoys is also an opportunity to test himself on long trips and to validate his technical choices. Once there, he can also measure himself against sailboats identical to his own. Indeed, Hugo sails on a Maxi 650, a sailboat designed by David Raison and built by the IDBmarine yard. A very characteristic plan since it has a scow bow, a round-ended bow.
