chartering short handed race boats

[The Smokester]

One thing to consider is that some races, such as the SHTP, require a qualifying voyage in the same boat.

Multihull qualifier has to have downwind component because that is the point of sail responsible for most multihull capsizes.

Thanks. Makes sense. It would make more if the qualifier required some heavy weather. Still, the need for some qualifying miles is an excellent one.

Smokester,
Before I compete in any offshore races in Bucket List, I will ensure I have some serious offshore experience, including bad weather.

Meanwhile, to do list is nearly finished, next sail sometime next week.
