    Default Something I'd love to see in the SHTP 2012

    I think it would be a riot to see three or four Moore 24's challenge three or four Mini 6.5's....A Team-Scored race to Hawaii.

    It would just be for S&G's, not part of the actual race and awards by the SSS, but it would be a kick to follow and bragging and browbeating rights would last for years.

    Throw in a team of Cal 20's also !

    That would really make it interesting ! But alas, my skipper say's he wouldn't want to be on the boat that long with me....( perhaps if i was a female )

    It's a singlehanded race..... But having more small boats would be great. Robert Crawford did the '08 race on a Cal 20 "Black Feathers" and did well, at that. If you haven't read the book, he wrote a great book bearing the boat's name.

    Before I picked up the Mt. Gay 30 for the '10 race, I owned a Cal 25 and was planning on doing '10 SHTP on it. The Cal's are great boats. Small, cheap, locally available and reasonably well built.
