Minis set sail double handed

Demi Cle race to Cardiff gets underway tomorrow

The Mini class' busy spring/summer schedule continues tomorrow with the doublehanded Demi-Cle race starting from Locmiquelic on the unfashionable side of Lorient harbour.

Following the start at 1500 French time, the boats head past Ouessant for St Quay Portrieux on the north Brittany and from there on to Cardiff where the boats are expected to be berthed between 15-18 July before returning to Locmiquielic.

Among the mostly French entry are five British boats including Charlie Hope-Lang on the rebuilt Owen-Clarke boat Portugese Ricardo Diniz was forced to abandon after a collision during an Atlantic crossing. The boat is now refitted with a new carbon mast. In addition to this is Stephen Simpson sailing Man For All Seasons, the former Blue One, the Mark Mills-design previously campaigned by Paul Peggs, Phil Sharp on the Magnen design Nick Bubb campaigned last year.

Nick Bubb is not racing as his boat has some issues with its keel canting mechanism. Similar Clemency Williams is not racing since she was dismasted in the Mini Fastnet race.

Kiwi Mini veteran Chris Sayer is also racing.
