Douget wins Mini Transat

Corentin Douget finished at 19 hours 22 minutes and 09 seconds local on Wednesday 26th October, just 38 minutes and 38 seconds behind Spaniard Alex Pella on the second leg og the Mini Transat. Douguet exploded the event's original overall reference time to take outright victory on his 2003 Manuard design.

The time set by Armel Tripon (29 days and 13 hours) in 2003 has also been significantly reduced to the new race reference time of 24 days 21 hours for covering a distance of 4220 miles.

Comeback kid Phil Sharp managed an impressive 4th total.
