Summer Update

Summer is upon us here in the PNW.  Thanks to all that supported races during June.  We participated in the SYC Blake Is Race as well as three Elliot Bay Beer Can events.  In general there was a lot of drifting going on.  For the races that the fleet did finish we placed well and were highly competitive.

The plan this summer is to do a few more Beer Can races on Elliot Bay in July and then we are taking the boat north for the month of August.  While in the San Juans we will do the Shawn Island Classic on August 10th (and could use a few crew for that) and then Shawn and I will do the Northern Century double handed on August 23-24.  The boat will come back at the end of August and then hit the yard for some needed repairs in early September.  The plan this Fall is to participate in the SYC Grand Prix in October (25th - 27th) and Round the County in November (9th and 10th).  These are big, fun, highly competitive events and are looking for crew to commit now so we can practice and get the boat and crew dialed in.
