Today we’re off! At 4 p.m. (local time), the 72 solo sailors entered in the Mini Transat (46 Series, 26 Proto) will cross the starting line in front of Douarnenez (Brittany).The Mini 6.50 fleet will head for Lanzarote in the Canary Islands (Spain) where the only stopover will take place, and then head to Pointe-à-Pitre in Guadeloupe (Antilles). This is a total of about 4,000 miles (40.20 to be precise, 1,250 from Douarnenez to Lanzarote and 2,770 from the Canary Islands to Guadeloupe). Six Italians competing, two in the Proto and four in the Series, we introduced them to you in this article. Let’s take a look at the interviews conducted with all of them, just hours before the start, from the Mini Italy Class.
