Yeah, Gene would be an outstanding resource! I'm watching how this shapes up. As there are no classes and virtually no rules other than sail or human power only....I'm afraid that nothing I have access to sail would be competitive with some of the groups likely to get involved due to the $10k first prize. There is nothing for second. Right now I am thinking " if I am racing with no chance to win....then I'm, not really racing....I'm really there to experience the trip....and a MUCH slower pace than race pace would be the way to plan that trip. But....not really sure ...I keep flip flopping. If there was actuall a singlehander class and some sort of control on boat size.....like in the everglades challenge....I would be more likely to jump in I think.
