The latest update, the team had a wonderful training session with Scott Whitman and Julia Dorsett who were just back from the test event in
We have been testing a new steering system which Scott has been using. The steering now gimbals with the seat as before it did not. We are currently in the process of packing the container which departs July 10th. One thing is that there are no marine shops in China so we must bring any spare gear that we may need such as tape, switches, wiring, blocks and shackles.
This has been one heck of a journey. The sailing community has been overwhelmingly supportive. Our friends and family have endured the hardships of ever changing circumstances. Maureen and I have kept a positive attitude and we all are just one regatta away from becoming Olympic medalist. May we sail our best and enjoy the ride. Thank You.
