“The goal was to get in four hours of sailing. We left the dock at 10:30 and got in at about 3:15 so we over achieved a little bit. As with any new boat there are creaks and groans and it gives you shivers up your spine as you hear it, but all in all a really good day. It’s been a long time coming for us,” said skipper Terry Hutchinson. Sander van der Borch
