Got this from Ryan today:
Hello everyone,
I'm pleased to announce that my DCQ application (wild card entry for non-Europeans) was accepted by Classe Mini, and I will be doing the Mini Transat next September. It's a huge relief to not have to worry about being put on the waiting list for this race. I just found out this morning. It's now a matter of sorting the boat out, training a lot and raising some money to get to the starting line. All systems go

I'll post something on the website soon with more details.
Take care.
