    With regards to the question of cost etc - I am looking at a few options, and trying to look at the total fitted out cost, and trying to not be surprised by the extras.

    Thank you
    Gregory's boat has been sailed twice to Hawaii, and Jerome's once. I don't recall any unusual breakdowns in either vessels in the passage. You would have to check with the boat owners but they all arrived in Hawaii in solid operational condition.

    I haven't read all the thread above but my impression, for what this is worth, is that the Mini is great off the wind but struggles in the upwind legs of any of the around the buoy events. It would probably be in it's strongest element in the SHTP.
