Starts Mini-Fastnet!
Here is what a few minutes ago, Irina Gracheva wrote on her Facebook page:
La 34ème édition du Mini-Fastnet race starts right now!
The race will begin with a brisk gulfwind, with a backstay of 20-25 knots, we will cross the English Channel, and with a complete windfall we will reach the Fastnet lighthouse on June 18th.
Further we are waiting for throwing in search of the wind, and on June 19-20 we will get a steady reverse richer calling at backstand and fordac.
Intensive start with the promotion right on the general, an interesting strategy in the middle, and a pleasant conclusion with moderate winds.

– in the serial fleet, the Irina Gracheva Racing Mini-Transat 2019 team, board No. 579, project MANUARD Tip-Top. Irina Gracheva and Konstantin Grenada-team
