Hugo, The Sailing Frenchman continues to tell us in detail his experience on the Mini Transat 2021. Past the halfway point, the sailor continues to struggle with squalls that are more and more present. He struggles to keep speed and avoid his boat getting stuck in windless areas. We can see in the images of the boat how difficult it is to keep the morale when the performance is not there. Hugo admits that he has stopped listening to the rankings on the radio, where his position keeps falling back in relation to the ministries that have gone south.
Cold analysis of the weather strategy
With his morale at half-mast, the sailor made few pictures during these difficult days. So he gives us his cold analysis, shot a few months later, on land. If he confirms that his northern option, close to the direct route, was clearly bad in retrospect, he does not regret his choice, which he believes was risky at the time, but not unjustified. He invites the most passionate to watch various debriefing videos.
Enjoy the joys of sailing
In spite of everything, Hugo keeps a part of enthusiasm and ends up turning away from the ranking to enjoy the happiness of being at sea. The images of the sunset on the horizon, under a nicely inflated spinnaker are always enough to put a smile on your face!
