Interesting to see that both the Around Long Island record and this California record are now both held by Outerlimits, both with their deep vee design and their catamaran design...........when will we see another manufacturer step up and put their product on the line.

Congratulations to all involved, this is really getting off the beach and back to the roots of the sport, real open ocean racing, point to point. Well done.
