Web sites and updates from full-Race participants
Posted: Thu Jan 22, 2015 11:17 am
The 2015 Race is motivating an amazing amount of research & development in boat design, sailing rigs, human propulsion, and endurance adventure racing (including mental and physical training). It's also clear that a huge benefit of participating is befriending like-minded adventurers, builders, and athletes.
In the spirit of learning as much as we can as a community, as well as getting to know each other a bit before we meet on some desolate lee shore, let's start by sharing the web sites and other information sources related to the full-race participants. Let's limit it for now to full-race participants, including not only those who are registered or in the application process, but also those who are seriously planning to participate (e.g. doing R&D from which we all could learn). Perhaps a similar, separate thread could be created to promote collaboration with the Stage 1 (PT-Victoria) racers?
Once we have a good list going, this thread can become a central place to announce major updates from full-Race participants or share information about them that would otherwise be hard to find or easy to miss.
Thomas and I (Team Sea Runners) were holding our cards close to our chest last fall during our build, but now believe we have no competitors in the Race to Alaska, only collaborators. So, we'll start off with our public web sites (and keep updating them this winter/spring), and then list the sites of other full-Race participants we've met, found, or heard about thus far. Please consider adding your own contributions!
