13 of the Mini Globe Race entrants are now racing towards Fiji in their 19ft plywood boats, a further two skippers are expected to be underway by next weekIt is 7,200 miles from Panama to Fiji, and the solo skippers in the Mini Globe Race fleet will need to dig deep if they are to finish the longest of the five legs in the 26,000-mile race. Leg 2 began on 25 March, and already, Swiss skipper Renaud Stitelmann is leading the pack aboard his Globe 5.80, Capucientte – as he did for Leg 1. Instead, he will now have to race to Fiji with a hanked jib. Harris’s Origami was one of the last boats to leave the marina at Colon, along with Jasmine Harrison’s Numbatou, and so was forced to start Leg 2 12 hours behind everyone else. At least the Starlink Mini works.”Two sailors are still in Panama and should leave in the next day or so.
