Since the start of the mini transat race (and its predecessor the “poor man’s race”) only 11 germans participated in the mini transat out of which only 9 finished the race.
Jörg Riechers (2009 dnf,2011 5th) and Henrik Masekowitz (2007 22nd, 2013 boat lost) both started twice and finished only once. Both had to abandon the races because of keel problems.
The best german result to date was Jörg Riechers’ 5th place in 2009 with his proto 753 mare.de.
