This site aims to provide ongoing updates about Emma Creighton’s 2011 Mini Transat Campaign.
Her campaign began on the West Coast of the US, where she will competed in a variety of local short-handed ocean races that are run in the challenging conditions around the San Francisco Bay area. These races served as preparation for the 2010 double-handed Pacific Cup race from San Francisco to Hawaii.
Emma and crew Andy Hamilton completed the Pacific Cup in 11 days, with 5 days of over 200nm and one day of 276nm.
Now it’s time for Emma to 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.
