TRANSATLANTIC RACE 2015

This is footage from the 2011 race. Already so long ago. The Transatlantic race this summer from Newport RI to the Lizard in England. There will be 3 starts beginning in June, the last start in July for boats like “Comanche” and “Rambler”. I intend to sail with many old shipmates once again on “Snow Lion” belonging to Larry Huntington.

FIRE AND WATER, SAFETY AT SEA

It is always good to have hands on experience with safety gear. Like any “insurance” it usually is not used until you need it. The transatlantic race will start in Newport next summer finishing off the Lizard in England.

The day was split between class room, fire containment, and 4 hours in the pool in foul weather gear and boots; In and out of life rafts.
