Pyreneenne
Type: Jeanneau Sun Magic 44Skipper: Stuart Briscoe
Port: Edmonton, AB
Sailing for the Royal Victoria Yacht Club and skippered by Stuart Briscoe, Pyreneenne is a Jeanneau Sun Magic 44 designed by Daniel Andrieu. Pyreneenne sailed in Sint Maarten in the Caribbean before coming to local waters fifteen years ago, and this will be her first trip to Hawaii. Stu hails from Calgary, Alberta, and keeps Pyreneenne moored in Sidney, BC, close to his favorite cruising grounds. "We brought our kids up spending summers sailing all up and down the coast. My daughter Kate recently completed a Tall Ships voyage of 25,000 miles aboard SV Concordia, and has inspired me to pursue my own dream of doing a Vic-Maui race. The more we prepare for the race, the more we're looking forward to the whole event, beginning with the festivities and start line in Victoria. There can't be a more scenic place than Victoria anywhere in the world to start an ocean race. Good luck to all the entrants. Pyreneenne has a beautiful stern; I'm sure you'll all enjoy the view!"
