Right now I am not sure what the future holds for next summer's racing. But I am pretty sure I need to get my boat from one port to another that's about 400nm away. I don't see any race documents for 2020 other than the NOR on this forum (am I missing something?) but in the past I recall that a qualifier is 400nm, all under sail, at some point no less than 100nm from shore, completed within 24 months of the race. If that's the case, I might as well put the qualifier in the bag next week. Anything I'm not thinking about that might cause me to blow the opportunity? I would expect that the usual logbooks and chartplotter tracks would be required, of course.

From previous discussion, "miles" means and should be edited to "nautical miles."
