Attend a discussion headed by two Seattle sailors on Jan 22nd, as they relay their experience sailing in the Transat 6.50.
If you have ever wondered what it would be like to sail a 21 foot boat 4200 miles in a race from one continent to another, then this is an opportunity you might not want to miss. On January 22nd, at the Corinthian Yacht Club, Chris Tutmark and Craig Horsfield will discuss their harrowing experiences in one of the world’s most demanding races: the Transat 6.50.
Commonly known as the Mini Transat, it is held every two years and is limited to boats 6.5 meters in length, or 21 feet. Additionally, it turns out that Chris Tutmark was a member of the UW Sailing team and Craig Horsfield cut his teeth sailing Olson 30's.
If you’re interested in hearing what it takes to become a world class sailor then this is talk you would not want to miss.
