New challenges, new projects, and new regattas ahead.

• Aina Bauzà continues with her sailing plans, already setting her sights on a larger project. The Mallorcan sailor continues to compete this season.
• Highlighting her participation in the Mini Fasnet alongside Belgian Emile Gobbesso and the SAS this July.

Following her transatlantic adventure in which she set the transatlantic record from Cadiz to San Salvador, the Mallorcan continues sailing with a calendar full of regattas and projects. “I am eager for a larger project, a bigger, faster boat, and we have started working on it, but in the meantime, I don’t want to stop sailing and learning,” commented Aina. Therefore, the 29-year-old’s regatta schedule remains packed this summer, with her participation in the Mini Fastnet and the SAS standing out as the most important competitions.

Mini Fasnet with Emilie Gobbesso

Sailor Aina Bauzà has teamed up with Emilie Gobbesso to participate in the prestigious Mini Fastnet race, a key challenge in the Mini 6.50 class racing calendar, which will start on June 8. The Mini Fastnet, starting in Douarnenez, France, and heading towards the iconic Fastnet Rock lighthouse on the southwest coast of Ireland, is known for its technical demands and the adverse conditions that competitors must face. “We are excited to face this challenge together,” commented Aina Bauzà. “The Mini Fastnet is an incredible opportunity to test our skills and get to know each other while working as a team under intense conditions.”

Participation in the SAS Regatta

In addition to her participation in the Mini Fastnet, Mallorcan sailor Aina Bauzà, a member of the Port d’Andratx Sailing Club, will also compete in the challenging SAS Regatta. This race, starting from the French port of Les Sables d’Olonne, ventures 1,200 miles into the Atlantic Ocean. It consists of two stages that connect the French port of Les Sables d’Olonne with the island of Horta (Azores). In July 2024, Les Sables d’Olonne will host the 10th edition of this event, with an expected 20 days of sailing divided into two stages, totaling 2,180 km and 1,200 miles each stage.

Starting in September, she will share her adventure

In September, Aina Bauzà will share her adventure through a short documentary directed by Nathan Siegel. The documentary, to be presented in the last quarter of the year at festivals, platforms, and educational spaces, will narrate her impressive transatlantic challenge. With a journey of 30 days, 22 hours, and 34 minutes, Aina set a new world record for solo transatlantic sailing in a 21-foot monohull, covering from Cadiz to the Bahamas.
