2. Thanks.

There was also a discussion thread on Sailing Anarchy several months ago, when the project first started. Its a fascinating race. Start is March 1st...all the boats are equipped with trackers, so the race can be followed live online. The boats are kayaks, sailboats, and catamarans; mostly under 20' as the start requires a beach launch from above the high-tide mark. Also, they are all centerboarders, in order to navigate extensive shoals at spots on the course. There are several checkpoints along the course, getting in and out of them requires going through breakers and narrow winding inlets.
