Sylvain Karpinski (CAN 1055)

#13. This week I sit down with Sylvain Karpinski who is from Canada and raced in the 2023 Mini Transat on a Vector named Gusta.

It is a fascinating story of how he quickly learned how to sail and jumped right into preparing for this big race. Then during the Mini Transat he had to overcome challenges such as climbing his mast while solo in big seas and even broke his bow sprit multiple times. He shares some crazy stories about his experience and what it took to get to the finish line.
