 "We are delighted to have the 2010 Vic-Maui race entries in and announced.  Four of the boats and five of the skippers are Vic-Maui race veterans returning to the pinnacle of Pacific Northwest ocean racing.  Five boats new to the race are entered" said RVYC Vic-Maui Event Committee Chair David Sutcliffe, who also commented that "This mix of boats should produce some tightly competitive sailing.  At both ends of the fleet, past participants describe the Vic-Maui as their most memorable sailing experience and the adventure of a lifetime".  Profiles for each of the boats are posted on the race website at www.vicmaui.org/teams.
