During October 30 Alex MeVay finished the Mini-Transat 6.50 in Brazil, becoming only the 6th American to finish the race in its 30 year history. The 3,100 nautical mile leg from Funchal to Salvador took Alex approximately 24 days. Alex finished 30 of 41 in the production class and 69 of 83 overall.
Alex is the former JSA LIS sailor whose start in this race was featured in our September 20 blog posting .
Last summer Alex sailed solo, nonstop from Boston to Port Camargue in the Mediterranean, a 4,135 nm journey that took almost 36 days. That is almost certainly the longest single passage ever done on a Mini by anyone.
Well done Alex!!
