| In less than two days I’ll be racing the Seventy48 again. As many of you know I had the privilege of partnering with Greg Barton and winning the inaugural race last year. I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to train and compete with one of the legends in our sport and the experience took my paddling to another level. | In less than two days I’ll be racing the Seventy48 again.

| - | Good Speed, Kevin. Hope you feel the spirit of your supporters out there, about 2:45 AM! | + | Good Speed, Kevin. Hope you feel the spirit of your supporters out there, about 2:45 AM! |
| - | Another boat to cheer for is Team Skelty 2.0, Tim (TJ) Nolan. I knew TJ at Michigan in the 1970’s when I was paddling Sprint with Andy Toro. As an experiment, Andy and TJ designed, and we built, a strip-planked “planning” K 1. It was about 16 feet long, styled after a Hunter, and the after-sections flattened out to a reverse-camber cut-off transom. Ultimately the power from a single paddler was not enough to overcome the wetted surface drag and it was slower than the legal boats. But oh, it looked cool. | + | Another boat to cheer for is Team Skelty 2.0, Tim (TJ) Nolan. I knew TJ at Michigan in the 1970’s when I was paddling Sprint with Andy Toro.

| - | TJ has always been into unconventional design ideas. This is his second Seventy48, and he has perfected his super-skinny SUP with ama-like pontoons. The boat is uncanny-fast. TJ is not a highly competitive paddler himself (took 2 days to finish last year) but he loves paddling and is a friend to all. | + | TJ has always been into unconventional design ideas.
