Tom Keffer reports that the J/42, Velocity, is always glad to get off the river, and on to the Pacific where she is most at home. Having observed the powerful and solid Velocity charging though the waves in the open ocean, I would agree with this assessment. This will be Velocity's 11th Offshore and Tom modestly reports “always a bridesmaid, never a bride, she has placed 2nd twice, 3rd once, but never won her division or the race. Good thing we race for the companionship and fun, not fame and money.” While racing for money would be a losing proposition no matter how well Velocity and her crew perform, some of us have noticed Velocity consistently getting faster and faster and this could be her year to top the podium.
