Tad... don't take this the wrong way.. but I have to ask... why is it that you've been one of the biggest supporters of a race like this happening and as soon as it's announced you put your boat up for sale?!
Fair question indeed.
I put it up for sale because I have to move this coming summer, and proceeds from the boat sale are paying for moving expenses. I'm moving to a place where I don't foresee myself doing too much sailing, and we will only be staying there for only a year likely. Once the wife is done with her fellowship, we want to move to the NC Coast where I'll likely be getting a new boat.
In short, I had decided a long time ago to sell the boat. The timing of it was just bad.
(Plus I hadn't been doing much sailing, and I'm not in any way in physical shape enough to do a race like this with any degree of success whatsoever)
