Moore 24's will be racing one-design to Hawaii this summer! As of today, there are 3 Moore's registered in the race. Not only that, but all 3 of us are Singlehanded Transpac veterans, so the class should be ultra-competitive. This is the first one-design Moore 24 start since 2004.
The entries are:
"Cookie Jar"- George McKay. George finished 2nd out of 3 Moore's in 2004.
"Rushmoore"- Ruben Gabriel. Ruben was dismasted in 2008 in a Pearson Electra "Sparky", and finished under jury-rig.
"US 101"- Ronnie Simpson. Ronnie raced a Mount Gay 30 to 2nd in class in 2010.
I'm extremely excited to be racing one-design to Hawaii this summer. Just the possibility of racing identical boats to Hawaii is one of the reasons I bought a Moore. Ruben and I are close friends, and i've yet to meet George, but i'm sure we'll become close friends during the race and our time in Hanalei. Go the Moore 24! More than 30 years old and racing OD to Hawaii!
