Follow Dominik Lenk and his campaign for the 2011 edition of the Transat 6.50, a single-handed transatlantic sailing race in extremely small 21-foot high-performance sailing yachts.
More about the race, the skipper and the boat…
Looking back at some of the achievements of 2009—Solent IRC, the Rolex Fastnet and Young JOG Sailor of the Year—and the plans for the future…
Together with the Shorthanded team, I visited La Rochelle a couple of days before the start of the Transat 6.50. Most of my time was spent wandering the pontoons, soaking up the atmosphere and pointing my camera at anything carbon.
After Cowes Week, I joined Nick Gale and his Sigma 38 “Zanzara” for the 2009 Rolex Fastnet. This 608 mile long race leads from the Royal Yacht Squadron startline in Cowes around the Fastnet Rock in front of Ireland to Plymouth.
With a freshly thrown together crew, we not only fought a close battle but finished 1st Sigma 38 and 4th in IRC3a.
The Dutch NKE Shorthanded Team has invited me to join them in preparation for the 2011 Transat 6.50. The Team organises monthly training sessions and workshops on topics such as sleep, food, navigation or project management.
Sitting on the dock of the bay. Disappointment for the doublehanded Mini Fastnet starting from Douarnenez.
