The Boat

The Mini Transat has progressed into two fleets, the production boats and the prototype boats.  Through my studies of the mini and my time boat building and engineering I have gained a keen interest in yacht innovation and progression, this is why I opted for the prototype.  The box rule allows different building materials and mechanical system (i.e. carbon and swing keels).
