The official word from Key West 2010 organizer Premiere Racing and others.
For Terry Hutchinson and the crew on Jim Richardson’s Barking Mad, Key West 2010 will be an integral part of their ramp up to the 2010 Rolex Farr 40 Worlds in April in the Dominican Republic. There’s some new sails to test, a few cobwebs to shake out, and, oh yes, a regatta to win, as well.
/Sailing World/ readers are familiar with sailmaker Chuck Allen as a long-time member of the annual Boat of the Year judging panel. But he’s no slouch on the course. The former college All-America selection will be guiding fellow North Sail’s employee Will Welles around the track as they try to win the J/80 division.
