We’ve enhanced our original crew and the 2020 team includes specialists such as a mechanical engineer, an electrical engineer, a computer programmer, two photographers, creative types, oh, and of course, some salty sailors. We’ve thanked Giant Corn for her service, and upgraded to something with a little more panache. We are now in possession of a fast, light, sleek, spirited boat, and we’re in the process of modding her for R2AK 2020. She’ll be needing solar, some new instruments and wiring, a pedal drive (or likely two), a holding tank, enhanced documentation equipment, and some other bells and whistles. We had a couple of excellent training sessions with our 7-person team in the fall, and there are at least three more set for the spring and the lead-up to the race. We hope to compete in the Round Saltspring Race in May with the boat’s previous owner on board to help us learn the boat’s many quirks and preferences. We will be race-ready and raring to go come June 8!
