Boat Construction: Albert Bargues built this mini-transat boat in 1999 in Barcelona, Spain. The hull is Fiberglas with a foam core and carbon fiber stringers. The deck is carbon fiber with a foam core. The keel is fixed and is made of carbon fiber with a lead bulb.

Albert Bargues sailed this boat in the 1999 Mini-Transat Race and finished in ninth place out of 70 participants. This is one of the lightest boats in the fleet and is very strong and fast. With this boat, we have an excellent chance of finishing in first place.
