The Mini Transat otherwise known as the Charente Maritime/Bahia Transat 6.50.
, gets underway this Sunday from La Rochelle bound ultimately for Salvador de Bahia, Brazil. The entry list is currently stuck at 84, mixed between the 'Proto' one-offs and the Series class of production boats.

More on this following in text form tomorrow, but in this first of three videos from the La Rochelle docks, Artemis Ocean Racing's Ollie Bond who is skippering a Pogo 2 in this race (and is one of the favourites for the Series class win) helps us with a guided tour to the line-up, including interviews with some of the skippers who we chance upon.
