Ariel entered in Single Handed Transpac Race
Although sanity may set in at any time, I've entered Ad Astra (formerly "Jubilee") in the Transpac. With a rating of 258, she has the highest handicap of all the entrants thus far.
The challenge is going to be getting there in 21 days. I plan to fly twin jibs and forego spinnakers entirely.
Any suggestions from the esteemed members here will be much appreciated!
AD ASTRA....alis volat propiis
Altho I haven't been boiled yet
will say sanity isn't preferred to enter a singlehand race
but courage. You have plenty of that stuff.
Best luck!! Tell us about it!!
Especially balance and course keeping!!:cool:
and....sleeping........
EDIT: doesn't this race require an emergency rudder --
whatz your solution?
Trailer for sale/rent/loan?
The trip back by sail is nearly twice as long, in terms of time, as the voyage to Hawaii.
I'm still in the planning phases, but I may decide to ship Ad Astra back. Matson offers return shipping from the island on a Ro-Ro boat, but I'll need a trailer.
Does anyone have a trailer for sale, rent, or loan? I'll need to ship the trailer ahead, so I'd need it for about 2 months.
Thanks!
