Cabo 2012
We’d like to invite you to join us to race double-handed in Balboa YC’s 2012 Cabo Race. Scheduled for March 31, this 800 mile downwind sleighride from Newport Beach, CA to Cabo San Lucas is a great alternative to, or warm-up for, the Singlehanded Transpac. Currently we are racing the Beneteau First 30Naos3. If we do not get enough boats we will be racing in the fully-crewed class. If interested, or have suggestions, please visit www.cdmtocabo.com for the NOR, or contact me at spoe@ullmansails.com. Sail Fast!
