Here at the Roan Star Sailing Outlet, we love to follow sailing stories as they happen. We are particular fans of solo sailing challenges. This week we discovered Ben Rogerson and his mission to design, build and race the boat to win the Mini Transat 2011. The Mini Transat started in 1977 and is held on alternate years. The race starts in France, goes via the Canaries and ends in Brazil. Ben Rogerson is hoping to become the first British yachtsman to win this race! He has started his preparation already, and has just completed a successful solo Atlantic Run, and is preparing to sail solo non-stop around Britain and Ireland next month. He plans to build his race boat in 2010 for qualification for 2011. Good Luck Ben!
