Base Mini

As a result of the agreement between the Base Mini Barcelona, Barcelona Capital Nàutica and now Federació Catalana de Vela, we have created the most important center for training, technification, training, regatta organization and maintenance of Mini 6.50 class boats in the Mediterranean.

From 2024, the Mini Base will be located at the Barcelona International Sailing Center (BISC), in Port Fòrum.

The objective

The purpose of Base Mini Barcelona is to train and offer support to ocean sailors so that they can compete in solo or double-handed high altitude regattas.

The Base Mini Barcelona responds to the different needs of sailors, both in terms of sports and project management.

The Base provides logistics and training services through courses, conferences and training in the water, as well as preparing and training ocean sailors wishing to take part in MiniTransat.

The fleet

After more than 6 years active, more than 60 sailors have been promoted (and brought to the oceans with their ships.

Thanks to the Foundation’s activity, it has contributed to making sailing projects possible for sailors in our country.

Soul of the sea

“Soul of the sea, the Adventure of the Mini 6.50” is an intimate exploration of the human spirit behind the dream of crossing the Atlantic. Through the lenses of two photographers and sailors, Cédric Widmer and Nicolò Gamenara, the exhibition offers a personal, unfiltered perspective on life at Base Mini Barcelona and Mini racing in the Mediterranean.

La Nona

La Nona is a self-built Proto that is currently on loan to the Catalan Sailing Federation to promote sports sailing in the Mini Class.

During the 24-25 season its skipper is Cédric Widmer, a sailor from the Base Mini Barcelona.

Since 2016 we have established an agreement with the Base Mini Barcelona to integrate its activity into the structure of the Foundation. A common project that will help consolidate Barcelona and Catalonia as the international benchmark for competitive sailing and especially the Mini Class.

The Mini Base is currently located in the Barcelona International Sailing Center (BISC), in Port Fòrum.
