What a shame. I have very little interest in yet another corporate sponsor big boat race that the average sailor has zero chance in competing against. Allowing going outside separated the route and killed the race in my opinion. The first couple of years were thrilling, and less “yachty”. I don’t follow it anymore. www.rustyknorr.weebly.com

No reason not to take part. A excellent challenge that M17/M15 and Sage 17 have done. M17s have finished the entire race multiple times. S17 and M15 done leg one.
Once the rowing system figured out any Winkleboat can finish: M15/17/23 and S15/SC/17.
For leg one a M10 or M12 could succeed.

Nope.
Big shift in the size of the boats this year. I think a lot of this has to do with the new rule for the course - second year of being able to go west of Vancouver Island.
Seems like all what we would call large boats, 23+ feet. Just a smattering of paddle boats making the entire trip. a few little craft only going from Port Townsend to Victoria.
