This Sunday from 1-3pm, the team will be hosting an Open Boat at the Kingston Yacht Club. We want to give the public a chance to look around the boat and to learn a little more about living aboard a mini and to tell people a little more about the race. Which is currently underway.

Everyone will be able to get aboard 680 to take a look around down below and to get a sense of what it’s like sleeping, eating and living aboard this tiny offshore weapon.

We’ll have a demonstration on how to cook freeze dried food with Chef Eric Baron (trust me you don’t generally need a chef for freeze dried…), we’ll have a slide show with some pictures and video of Minis sailing in the current Mini Transat and also give a little talk on how we interpret weather forecasts before heading out and while under way.

I think this will be a really fun opportunity to talk with folks about the project and to show people first hand how I manage sail this extreme little boat all by myself.

Hope to see you there!
