It's been said the return is the best part of the SHTP... or really any Hawaii race.

Has a fresh Ullman carbon main and 135.

We have had her out a couple times at New Melones lake to practice...

Bug Lighters,
Greetings from Capitola. Well Done, Bill, on your exceptional service to SSS. And welcome aboard Commodore Max!
We anxiously await the launching of “Wisdom,” Alan H.'s new skerry. His PHRF just came in, and with a rating of 426, we are all in trouble. Meanwhile, I can't let Alan have all the fun playing in sawdust and glue. Read on:
Most of you know a little over two years ago I abandoned and scuttled WILDFLOWER returning from Hanalei. At the time, shoreside...
