Petit Bateau web

Nu har Petit Bateau (the short handed racing association) fått till sin nya web. Massor av bra info för shorthandedseglare. Totalt över 9.000 inlägg!

Petit Bateau was formed by a group of entrants in the 2000 OSTAR as a means of exchanging information and expertise.

Since then it has grown to a membership of over 360 sailors in twelve countries. Joining is free. The only requirement is an enthusiasm for short handed and solo yacht racing.

All levels of skill and experience are welcome. The current membership ranges from novices to OSTAR winners, circumnavigators and Olympic medalists.

The PB forum allows access to a wealth of expertise and advice, with an archive of “posts” going back over 7 years.

PB members now cooperate in organizing an extensive programme of quality single handed races. In 2008 they will range from a four race series based in the Solent through to a 1000 mile oceanic challenge which has been designated the official qualifier for OSTAR 2009.
