From the Blog of Longboard

Crew Update, Day 5: The results are in - last 36 hours are the best offshore sailing experience of our collective lives. This little 35 foot skiff continues to amaze us how it sails effortlessly in big waves and big winds under total control. Longboard is a special boat. We are currently pressing hard to work SW as fast as possible so we can be in best position to navigate through two merging high pressure cells which is likely going to make for very light sailing for a few days for the fleet. Crew is amazing - turns out we have 6 talented drivers. Sleeping below decks at these speeds is just about impossible given the noise (even with ear plugs) but we'll sleep in Maui! Until tomorrow....aloha!

Vic-Maui Welcomes Outbreak
Outbreak is our 4th Lahaina Class entry.
Pat Fenton and his crew are excited and looking forward to the 2022 Vic-Maui aboard Outbreak. They raced together previously in the 2013 Van Isle 360 and in several Swiftsure races. However, this is the first Vic-Maui race for Outbreak and it’s crew. Pandemic permitting the plan is to book some sailing hours polishing skills and checking out the boat off Vancouver island in August this year. Team Outbreak is looking forward to the whole experience including the preparation work and training but especially a safe fun sail to Maui.
