Mini-Transat La Boulangère escort boats

We’ve already presented you three boats of the seven that will leave in total. Today we present you the fourth boat.
It's a feeling boat of 43 foot skipped by Roger and Lydie Braize, from Haute-Savoie in the Alpes, in France. On board with them, there will be Serge Vivian, former ministe that did the Mini-Transat in 1993 and he also takes care of the repatriation of the minis from Le Marin. But also Ali and Albert that are pasionnated about paragliding. With a crew coming mostly from the Alpes, we will have with us on this edition, mountain people on sea. Note another particularity of this crew : a cat named Safran!
