South Atlantic Summary:

WE CAME THIRD IN OUR CLASS

  • The Farr 38 was a great boat for this event.
  • The only damages we sustained were: The binnacle and an electrical problem with the Galley light and minor chafe on the spreader points on the main.. Other then this everything went perfectly.
  • A crew of three was ideal. Shifts were well balanced and it help control boredom.
  • We had more then enough food and water.
  • Crew choice is important: We had the right crew. We were probably the happiest crew together after this event.
  • Good boat preparation pays off.(did for us)
  • More books to read would be good.
  1. Will we be back??? Hopefully yes. The main concern is getting the boat back and the related costs, so we will have to see.
  2. Would we sail together as a team??? Without doubt.
  3. Would we do it on a Farr 38 again??? Without doubt. Reliable and a pleasure to sail.

SAILING IS FUN
