Origami was built for the 2021 inaugural Mini Transat by Peter Kenyon, who successfully completed the Mini Transat and was delighted with Origami’s performance.

Origami was then sold to Keri Harris, who recently completed the inaugural Mini Globe Race, finishing in a creditable second place. Keri has sailed Origami some 24,000 nautical miles around the world.

With the ownership of Origami now being handed to Dean, he will again be taking her across the Atlantic. First though, Origami will have some shore time for refitting, which will reflect some new rules for the class and to replace worn items, such as sails and standing rigging.
