Welcome
Petit Bateau was formed by a group of entrants in the 2000 OSTAR as a means of exchanging information and expertise.
Since
then it has grown to a membership of over 360 sailors in twelve
countries. Joining is free. The only requirement is an enthusiasm for
short handed and solo yacht racing.
All
levels of skill and experience are welcome. The current membership
ranges from novices to OSTAR winners, circumnavigators and Olympic
medallists.
The
PB forum allows immediate access to a wealth of expertise and advice,
plus an archive of “posts” going back over 7 years.
PB
members now cooperate in organizing an extensive programme of quality
single handed races. In 2008 they range from a four race series
based in the Solent through to a 1000 mile oceanic challenge
sponsored by bluQube which was designated the official qualifier
for OSTAR 2009.
