Starlight Express returns for the 2010 Vic-Maui race:
Sailing for the West Vancouver Yacht Club and the Burrard Yacht Club, skippered by Al Bartlett, Starlight Express is a Hunter's Child HC 50. Al hails from West Vancouver, BC. This will be Starlight Express's second Vic-Maui race and she will be sailing with most of her crew from the 2008 race. Filing Starlight Express's entry papers early, Al commented that "Years of blue water sailing in the Pacific Ocean have gotten into my blood. Our team has some unfinished Vic-Maui business and we're especially looking forward to more wind this year and to the dock party in Lahaina".
