New Haven. A Baltic 38DB designed by naval architect Doug Peterson, is a racer/cruiser that was built for speed and comfort in high seas. Earlier in his life skipper Tim Slater (who is now supported by partner Erin Moore for this adventure) sailed the Pacific Ocean for three years on a cruising boat and is looking forward to doing this part of that cruise in a racing environment. He is the Vice Commodore at the False Creek Yacht Club and is their second entry alongside Elan, skippered by Paul McGarvey. Tim’s crew is a mixture of life experienced people of all ages, who have discovered a passion for sailing this boat and who are looking forward to participating in this endeavour that is the perfect conflation of racing and adventure.

PS: BBQ will stay on the rails, meals will be cooked and we’ll be taking showers….Defectors are welcome.
