The Coconuts Sail Team are currently building a state-of-the-art offshore foiling Mini 6.50 that is designed by the top naval architect of our times, Guillaume Verdier. Skipper Jay Thompson chose to work with Verdier because of his experience designing boats that fly. Jay has been building the boat himself in a hanger in Brittany France. After launching the boat he will start a busy training schedule to prepare for the next racing season. Jay will set out to be the 2nd non-French person in the 40 year history of the Mini-Transat to win this race. Jay’s ambitions don’t stop there, he dreams of putting together an IMOCA60 campaign, to participate in the famous Vendee Globe round the world solo race.
