A new mini 650 Mini 650 #mini650 is born and… a new era in the open yacht design Yacht Design #YachtDesign ? David Raison, yacht designer and mini sailor (he did the Mini-Transat Mini-Transat #MiniTransat in both divisions : prototype and serie), has designed and built this new prototype with what he calls a "US scow bow". The start of the Mini-Pavois from La Rochelle was the first time to see her sailing. Halas, the new 6.50 m long proto had steering problems and coming back to port an inflatable boat hurt the hull. Fortunately for us, Martinez and Grange had time to take the first images. Here they are !
