This site aims to provide ongoing updates about Emma Creighton’s 2011 Mini Transat Campaign.
Her campaign begins on the West Coast of the US, where she will compete in the local short-handed ocean races that are run in the challenging conditions around the San Francisco Bay area. These races will serve as preparation for the 2010 double-handed Pacific Cup race from San Francisco to Hawaii.
Following completion of the Pacific Cup in August 2010, Emma will move to France to continue training with the end goal of being the second American woman to ever sail the 4200 mile, single-handed Mini Transat race from France to Brazil.
The Mini Transat race spans 4200 miles of open-ocean in a high-tech carbon fiber boat, with just one person aboard.
Hi Emma,
Heard about your project from your dad. Front page on SA! That’s great. Good luck.

Hey Em… The website looks great… even accounting for paternal bias!!! Looking forward to a post about the 3 Bridged Fiasco!

Emma,
So great to hear of your sailing life!
If ever you have some downtime, let me know . . . . . always looking for crew on long passages.
Pat L. forwarded this to me.
Keep on sailing.
