We got a great thank you letter from Durkee Richards and his crew. They raced using our custom sails
“Hello Don
We enjoyed a spirited race in Sequim Bay yesterday. The southerly pressure gradient generated a fresh southerly in the bay — 10 to 20 knots. As Chris Allen put it “Team Geritol had a fine race”. We finished just a few minutes behind the Big Dogs and well out in the lead for the B-fleet.
I have finally remembered to send you a copy of the picture of the crew with the trophy for the Reach For Hospice Regatta that appeared in the clubs Scuttlebutt.
Cheers, Durkee”
