On the first leg of the Mini Transat 2021, Hugo, The Sailing Frenchman goes through all the stages: frustration of his ranking, fed up with sailing upwind, but also pleasure of sailing under spinnaker, sliding with dolphins and always a look for the elements around him.
Because Hugo is a competitor, a winner, but also a contemplative. He marvels at the sky at sunrise or at the color of the ocean that changes as it moves away from the coast. And this wonder, he shares it with us through his videos on life at sea during this Mini.
euros to follow his adventure, we discover both the solitude of the sailor who must take the right options, but also the different phases of his day. These videos also tell us a lot about the maneuvering of a Mini by allowing us to attend its gybes or by materializing the speed of the boat directly on the images.
After a long upwind passage, the last days of this first leg, before arriving in the Canaries, did not go exactly like a dream. No more than 20 knots of wind and still downwind under big spinnaker. Not enough to achieve anything, but enough to keep a good pace to reach the archipelago.
