"Any damn fool can navigate the world sober. It takes a really good sailor to do it drunk." - Sir Francis Chichester when asked why he carried so much alcohol on his solo sail around the world.

Valour taking on Newport to Bermuda

A sistership of Bootlegger's is racing in the doublehanded division of the Newport to Bermuda Race this Saturday, June 15. Ernie bought Valour, hull #1, about the same time that I bought Bootlegger and we've traded ideas, research, and a lot of questions ever since then. You can track Valour and wish them good luck at the Yellowbrick tracking site.

Yellowbrick is doing the tracking for the Newport-Bermuda Race and the Chicago - Mackinac Race so this a good chance to play with the tracking site and see what all it can do.

If you go to the "Other PETERSON WIGGERS 37'S (sisterships) " section of www.sailingbootlegger.com you'll find more information and some photos of Valour.
