Amiskwi was purchased out of Seattle in July 2014 and brought back to British Columbia for coastal cruising.
Both skipper/owner Chris Read and crewmember Rick Wunderlich have made a number of non-racing offshore passages. Rick has raced his own boat in Swiftsure, Round Saltspring, and Patos Island, as well as club racing. Chris has crewed in these races.
A double-handed 2016 Vic-Maui is a major step up for us. We are both eagerly looking forward to the challenge, hard work and intensity of the trip.
