Cruising Division Speaker - Race to Alaska (R2AK 2017)
Two avid MHYC sailors, Frederic Chanut and Sandu Farquharson, raced in the R2AK on 22ft Harmony, it only took 12 days 5 hours and 3 minutes. There were 41 entries which started and only 27 boats finished.
There were 11 knot tidal flows, sub zero temperatures, killer whales and and lots of other wild life the crew did not want to meet. The main rule for entering the race was that no boats were allowed to have motor! so the crew installed a couple of oars to help them on their journey. Come an hear about their amazing adventure.
Cruising Division will meet Monday 19th February at 7:30pm
