Baja 2017– The Westcoast Multihulls Baja Rally (planning)


By Lowell | March 17, 2017 | Category Baja 07

Spread the love

 

Things are progressing on planning on this year’s Baja Cruise. This blog is focused on organizing this year’s Rally week with our fellow sailors in the Loreto area.

 

First just a few photos and news from Penasco. We’ve enlisted new crew member and Cholla HOOD neighbor John Teefy to help us sail Penasco to Loreto. Welcome aboard John. Looking forward to a adventurous cruise south with you. This past October Penasco hosted the North American Hobie Championships. Close to 70 boats competed including our local sailors Brian & Heather Heffernan. It was 5 days of racing in varying conditions. Brian & Heather experience equipment problems on one heavy air day but still managed to place in 4th in the Hobie 18 class. Great fun watching the action.

    Hi Lowell, Frankie, Bill & team – wonderful to see the Gato Loco Baja tradition continue. If there was an award for the most loved & best used Seawind it would have to go to you. Hope the 2017 cruise is as wonderful as all the others. Just wish the Baha was a bit closer to Australia so we could join you for a few days. But, unfortunately, not this year, maybe 2018. Best wishes Richard & Kerry
