Title: 2011 HOOK Race
Post by: Gregg Henning on July 27, 2011, 06:53:11 PM

Goombay Smash did the 2011 HOOK Race...189 miles on a U20.  Read the story at http://racineyachtclub.org/News/goombay_cheated_death.htm (http://racineyachtclub.org/News/goombay_cheated_death.htm)

I believe Sailing Anarchy is going to post this story tomorrow as well.  Sailing World Magazine is also doing a story on this.

Greg, I've been in my share of when " the doo doo hit fan fan" situations and all I can say is Wow! First and foremost thank God you and your crew are safe. Second, real men wear lifejackets when sailing off shore. For now I'll go back to first, Thank God you and your crew are around to share this story.
