At age 67, I am morphing from
racing dinghies (Snipes and Lasers) to cruising. I bought my Flicka 20
Jubilee in March 2008 and am gearing up for longer (probably solo) passages in the Atlantic in 2010. In the meantime, I am taking shorter trips out of
Beaufort, SC. I am the founder of The
Classic Boat Rally which takes place in April every year along the
Georgia and South Carolina coasts and is open to sailboats of
classic design in the
LOA range of 15 to 24 feet haing a
draft of 4 feet or less as we use the
ICW. Please check out the web site
www.ClassicBoatRally.com for the details. I started this while sailing a Herreshoff 12 1/2, and we rendezvous at a yacht club or marina every night after sailing about 30 miles up the
ICW. If enough interest develops, we may introduce an off-shore option for
classic design cruisers (not
racing sport boats) up to 32 feet that could be very attractive to
boats like West Sail and other pocket cruisers.
