Born in 1977 under the impetus of Bob Salmon, the Mini Transat was created to offer sailors an extreme and accessible adventure, far from the constraints of major professional races.
The idea was simple yet radical: to cross the Atlantic solo on sailboats measuring only 6.50 meters, with no assistance or communication with land.
Very quickly, this event became a true school of offshore racing, unveiling generations of skippers who went on to leave their mark on sailing history.
From daring young sailors to future Vendée Globe winners, the Mini Transat has forged the greatest names and remains one of the last great maritime adventures where human commitment takes precedence over technology.
