Was 36 years ago this week that I launched my first trimaran. Was my home for a couple of years.
I heard it held the Point Hudson Race record time for several years. I remember the race officials asking if we could prove we rounded the mark. We could. It was still daylight when we crossed finish line back in Seattle.
Did you get rid of excess weight before the race? Any bottom cleaning? In those days racers were getting rid of drinking water and took buzz for a better race experience.
