Yesterday, Monday, September 25, the long-awaited departure of the Minitransat 2023 ocean regatta took place; where 90 sailors participate alone, without communication and without assistance, ready to cross the Atlantic. With a first stage of 1350 mn (3,000 km), from the departure in Les Sables d'Olome, to the Canary Islands.
It is the second time that Carlos Manera participates in this tough and legendary regatta, but this time he does it with his new boat, a carbon prototype with foils, built by Sinergia Racing Group, from Cartagena.
With a long and intense preparation and after the good results achieved this season, Carlos arrives at the Minitransat'23 as one of the favorites to be on the podium of this competition, in which a Spaniard has never managed to win.
Carlos is currently at the front of the regatta, with medium winds, reaching a virtual waypoint in front of the Asturian coast, and with a forecast that tomorrow afternoon they will pass the legendary Cape of Finisterre with a cold front, quite typical characteristics of this area Then they will go down the coast of Portugal until they reach the island of La Palma.
