Hi everyone,

We (Minis sailors) are putting a Mini Transpac together for summer 2013.
There will be prototype and production boats. As per some of the sailors requests, there will be two divisions: singlehanded and double handed.
So far, there are already 5 Minis "signed up". We are looking at being more on the starting line this July 2013: some have to confirm and some are looking for boats to race with.

If you are up for the challenge, there are some boats available for charter (unfortunately, most of them on the East Coast).

The race is "simple": start in Marina del Rey (or Long Beach - tbd) and race as fast as possible to Honolulu.

It is going to be a GREAT event and the first time a crossing to Hawaii just for the Minis.

Slowly but surely, we are putting all the basic format together (NOR, SI, logistics, Facebook Page, Communications, Sponsoring,....).

Already, feel free to look for the new Facebook page named North American Mini Class and "Like" the page! ;-)

Again, some owners can't find the time to race their boat. Just contact me and I will put you in touch with them. jerome at opensailingusa dot com

Cheers

Jerome
