Skipper/Crew: |
Skipper – Andy Caples Crew – TBD |
San Juan History |
Andy purchased Limpet in the fall of 2007 having never skippered a sailboat through a race in his life… He is still only a young Padawan seeking the knowledge of Fleet #1s many San Juan 21 Jedi. |
National Results: |
2009 will be Limpet’s second foray into the Western Nationals. In 2008 Limpet fought and won a pitched battle with Great Excuse to avoid coming in dead last in the 25 boat working sails fleet in Coos Bay OR. |
Often Heard Aboard: |
“Are we aground…. AGAIN?” This is often immediately preceded with assurances from the skipper "Keep going we have plenty of depth!" |
Cocktail of choice: |
Red Stripe Jamaican Lager - These also seem to immediately precede the exclamations of running aground |
Other Notes: |
Despite her dismal performance in the 2008 Western Nationals, Limpet has been on a bit of a tear of late, including a working sails victory in the 2009 NOOD in Seattle. Some say the fancy new Sails from Mark Weinheimer did the trick, others claim Limpet's hull has been coated with a substance secreted by the giant Pacific Sea Cucumber which has a drag coefficient 1000 slicker than Teflon. The only thing everyone agrees is that her captain has been known to take significant creative liberties with the facts. | |
