Mentors Program
Vic-Maui offers a mentor program to skippers who are considering, or who have decided to do, a Vic-Maui.
The intent of the program is to provide easy, informal access to the guidance and insight of skippers who have previously done Vic-Maui's and/or similar ocean races.
Please contact Jim Innes (skipper, "Red Sheilla") at mentors@vicmaui.org to get connected with one of our Vic-Maui volunteer mentors.
