We are proud to announce that FastSailing is sponsoring Charly Fernbach racing the 2015 Mini-Transat!

A mythical race in which sailors race solo their 6.5m long minis across the Atlantic in two legs:
– Douarnenez -> Lanzarote in the Canary Islands (1257nm)
– Lanzarote -> Pointe-à-Pitre in Guadeloupe (2764nm)

Charly is racing in the “series” category on his superfast and well prepared 3rd generation mini Pogo3.

Go Charly, go Pogo!
