Mini Open 650 #433
BJ owns what was Corentin Douguet's 2005 Transat 650 winning prototype - the Samuel Manuard designed #433.
"My boat #433 beat me into 4th place in the 2004 Mini Fastnet when I formerly owned the prototype #348. 433 has won more Mini Fastnets (3) than most and still holds the 8.2-knot average course record for the 4,200-nautical mile race from France to Brazil. I have to live up to her reputation on the dance floor!"

And a Slovenian sister-ship from the same hull mould held the Class Mini 24-hour mileage record of 300-nautical miles in 24-hours!"
