First one took place in 1977
Since ever there has been high
competitiveness among skippers
One of the thoughest race in the world
Due to their small dimensions these boats
are considered a perfect test bench for

WIN THE MINI TRANSAT 2015
The aim of the project “Mini Transat 2015”
is to win the most prestigious solo ocean race:
The Mini Transat. To achieve this, the project is
divided into three phases: the optimization of an
existing boat through a sophisticated method of
design (CFD and FEM analysis), the construction

The Boat : Mini proto Online sim 756
The mini N 756 is a full carbon proto designed by Sam Manuard in summer
2008 and refitted by SkyronLabDesign for the Mini Transat 2015.
The hull and the deck are built in pre-preg carbon fibre alternate with wet
layup. The structures are all in pre-preg. The foam is 48kg/m^3 with thickness
of 10/15 mm. The pivoting mast is in high modulus carbon with a unique
