MAUI SAILING NEWS
Maui Boat & Yacht Club member Gib Black will be racing his Santa Cruz 50 hull #1, Chasch Mer, under the MB&YC burgee in the 2011 Transpac. This is the first time in many years that our little club has had an official entry in this event. We will be following this one closely!
HEADING FOR THE 2011 STARTING LINE.
On Thursday, April 21 Chasch Mer and her crew were blessed by Rev. Tim Anderson for her 2500 mile trip to the 2011 TRANSPAC yacht race. The delivery crew of four: Bill Rainer, Mark Svensen, Clive Foreman & Dave Berke departed following the blessing & have had a great 1st half of the trip reaching the "turn-right" point once hitting the northern point of the high. Those interested can follow this on Facebook at chaschmer.
Chasch Mer is the only Hawaii entry to be sailed on her own bottom to California. This will be her eighth Transpac following her Santa Cruz launching in 1979. Commissioned by Randy Parker, she was built in a chicken coop by "The Wizard", Bill Lee as the 1st SC 50.
Chasch Mer is now owned by Honolulu's Gib & Jackie Black family. This will be Gib's 9th or 10th crossing between Transpacs and PacCups.
