I was pondering the idea of sailing one of the oldest boat to ever compete in the SHTP as a way to get the boat to begin a series of legs of pacific navigations. It would be a good record to hold too. Does any one know who holds that record now and what kind it was?
Dorade holds the oldest Transpac record when it competed a few years ago. I was thinking I could get pretty close to that aged record holder in singlehanded racing. Speed of course would be another issue.
Had I had time and resources that I have now, I would have saved Polaris built at the Stone yard in 1906 and done exactly that.
