Preparing for the Mini Transat, a long and demanding journey


Sail decoration, new partners, photo session, Hugo presents us the facets of a Mini project. A moment often overlooked in favor of the race itself, but which requires a lot of energy.

Hugo is preparing the Mini Transat 2021. Departure in September. But until then, he has to organize his project. After finding a main sponsor, he had to decorate the hull (with wrapping stickers) and the sails are also marked with the sponsor's colors.

But Hugo also manages the different convoys to get the sails or to do photo shoots. Like the great racers, he shares these moments with the picture taking agencies.

A Mini Transat project is not only about sailing as much as possible, but also about organizing the rest of the project. The skipper is often alone, he has to prepare the boat, find funding and organize his travel. A Mini project is a real complete project that forges for a long time the sailors who take this course.
