Vic-Maui Welcomes New Haven
by Event Committee, October 20th, 2021
New Haven, a Baltic 38DB designed by naval architect Doug Peterson, is a racer/cruiser that was built for speed and comfort in high seas. Earlier in his life skipper Tim Slater (who is now supported by partner Erin Moore for this adventure) sailed the Pacific Ocean for three years on a cruising boat and is looking forward to doing this part of that cruise in a racing environment. He is the Vice Commodore at the False Creek Yacht Club and is their second entry alongside Elan, skippered by Paul McGarvey. Tim’s crew is a mixture of life experienced people of all ages, who have discovered a passion for sailing this boat and who are looking forward to participating in this endeavour that is the perfect conflation of racing and adventure.
PS: BBQ will stay on the rails, meals will be cooked and we’ll be taking showers….Defectors are welcome.

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.
