Off shore solo sailing in Sea Fever
Gráinne crossing the finish line of the 2025 Mini Transat.
In Janurary 2022 I purchased a 13 year old mini - a 6.5m racing boat designed to race across the Atlantic solo - something that at times I have deeply regretted, sold the boat 10 times over in my head but has been one of the most rewarding decisions I have ever made.
I successfully completed the 2025 mini transat, not without some trials and tripulations, but very proud of the accomplishment. Please check out my social media for some of the updates. Now I am building towards a bigger and stronger mini campaign for the next 2027 transat.

I am looking for collaborators on my mini project - please feel free to get in touch.
