NOTES

5 November - About 30 people showed up for the Skipper's Party at the Newport Yacht Club to renew friendships started during this year's race.  Jay Sharkey showed up to say that he would be driving out to Seattle, WA just before Thanksgiving and that he would be out there for a while.  Caryn Cummings, Ron Moore and Lorrie Babcock-Moore provided plenty of great food for us (I thought 50 people would show up). 
We did the usual introductions and there were several new people trying to make contacts for expertise in hopes of doing the race in coming years.  We may see 3 or 4 Quests on the line in 2013.  See you in March.

28 September - The October Newsletter has been sent out and is available for download.

27 Setpember - We have setup the dates for the 2013 Bermuda One-Two.  The start date to Bermuda will be "Saturday" 8 June and the return start to Newport will be on Thursday 20 June.  Put these dates in your calendar.

21 July - Boat for sale: QII is the holder of 35 foot mono class OSTAR record. She also holds the 35 foot mono record in AZAB - Falmouth to Ponta Delgada as well as having achieved 1st and 2nd in class in Twohanded Round Britain & Ireland races, SORC races etc.
QII was designed for safe and fast shorthanded ocean racing. She has been regularly and professionally maintained and her equipment renewed and updated. In the winter 2009/10 she was resprayed and had a major refit. Originally launched 1990, she has every appearance of being brand new but with the added advantage of having been tried, tested and demonstrated to be the fastest.
Fully designed and equipped to Cat 1 (and more) she is ready to set off on another ocean race tomorrow. Buy QII, ready to race and to win again, at the reduced price of £74,950 GBP and save yourself the vast amount of time and money required to prepare and equip a boat for a shorthanded ocean race.
Conventional sized sails will reduce her irc handicap to 1.050 or less. So she can win on irc as well as on the water.
