Guide
Mini 2007 is online. It contains the English language version of the
Classe Mini rules, straight from Paris.
The Mini is a 21-foot
high-performance ocean racing sailboat. Though not well known in the US, the Mini has achieved immense popularity
across Europe. An active racing circuit
culminates in the Mini-Transat, a 4,000 mile transatlantic race from France to Brazil.
Our
goal is to introduce the Mini to sailors in the US while encouraging the
excitement and competition that Mini racing is widely known for. By
providing a reliable source of localized information from the international
Classe Mini and a
single source of access to products, knowledge, and a network of designers,
owners and racers, we'll help you acquire a Mini and outfit a successful
racing campaign.
