Richard Hewson is a professional sailor and mariner and is currently campaigning for the 2013 Mini Transat Campaign. The Mini Transat is a gruelling 4000nm race across the Atlantic Ocean starting from Brittany and racing to Guadeloupe via the Canary Islands.

Richard  is guaranteed to be on the start line for the 2013 Mini Transat, and if Richards previous campaigns are anything to go by, he will be giving 100% with the aim of winning the race against some of the worlds best sailors.

Richards most recent major campaign took him around the world, winning the 2011/12 Clipper Round the World Yacht Race. Richard has an excellent racing history, including seven Sydney to Hobart Yacht Races, the Fastnet Race, and fantastic results in both inshore and offshore racing. His life revolves around the ocean and this epic race is just another life long ambition that he will ultimately succeed.

It is now confirmed that my application for a derogation place for DCQ Foreigner for the 2013 Mini Transat has been selected by the Board of Directors of the Classe Mini. The list of competitors is on the website http://www.classemini.com

Now this has been confirmed now I can get my campaign under full swing, this means the purchase of my new boat, flights to be booked, and the entry fee for the Mini Transat 2013 to be paid and sponsorship acquired.

This news is very exciting and given I continue to maintain good results in the qualification races and complete my 1000nm qualifier in the Atlantic it guarantees me a place in the 2013 Transat.

Sponsorship is still my main focus at the moment and will determine if I can afford a boat that will win the race or I have to settle for something older and more affordable, either way, expect hewsonracing to be on the start for the 2013 Mini Transat in a boat that can be named by YOU.
