Last years winner Fiona Harrison helped judge this years entries and wrote:
"Many congratulations to Equinox and her crew for completing their round the World trip.I know a few club members joined them at different points and it was truly a fantastic achievement by all."
Sapphire Spirit’s log was a great read.A “new” boat always presents some wee challenges and surprises. Bits falling off, leaks, battery issues, janitors, and groundings!
Ken Brown’s log tells us of his trip with a great crew to achieve his oceanmaster. Great trip and great that Ken got his oceanmaster. Congratulations!
Chris, Sara Joshua & Matthew Nichols are far flung members in Massachsetts and sent us this log to whet our appetite to sail their amazing coastline.
