Terremoto!
Type: Riptide 35Skipper: Scott Burbank
Port: Seattle, WA
Blog: 1 articles posted
Sailing for the Sloop Tavern Yacht Club and skippered by Scott Burbank, Terremoto! is a Paul Bieker designed Riptide 35. A regular and well-campaigned competitor in the Puget Sound area, Terremoto! began her life offshore in the 98 Pacific Cup race. She was acquired last year by Scott and his wife Susan who are actively racing Terremoto! while preparing for the 2010 Vic-Maui race. The Burbanks hail from Clyde Hill, WA. Scott says, "The more time we spend sailing Terremoto! and working together with our great crew, the more excited we become about our dream of sailing in the blue water of the open Pacific. Our goal for 2010 is racing our little 35 footer in the Vic-Maui race. We are thrilled to participate in a race that is so well run and has such a rich tradition in the Pacific Northwest."
