Qualifying Sail Details
WILDER departed Brickyard Cove on 27 May 2024 at 0815 local time with Ian Sprenger and Mark Voropayev onboard. After crossing under the Golden Gate we proceeded West, passing approximately 2 miles south of the SE Farallon, and then for an additional 25 miles on a heading of 230 degrees magnetic before bearing off and running south. We jibed several times throughout the night and early morning hours before proceeding inbound to Santa Cruz harbor. We completed 160 nm in 24 hours. Weather conditions varied between 5-25 knots with a predominantly NW swell of 6-8 feet. In addition to completing the qualifying miles, we enjoyed testing our new A-kites along the way, as well as participating in a SCYC Wednesday night race as the only SC27 with solar panels installed. While packing the boat up on the trailer we were graced by "The Wizard" himself, who wished us a safe and fast sail in July.
