Latitude 38
• 2017 YRA Calendar
Kings of the Beer Cans. Robert Ruud, his dad Roger, and skipper Chuck Hooper conquered Latitude 38's Beer Can Challenge on the Contessa 33 Warwhoop on August 8-12, 2016, sailing in a different series for five evenings in a row. (They 'supersized' their feat with races in San Francisco and Berkeley on the weekend.) They plan to attempt the Beer Can Challenge again in 2017, and encourage other sailors to do the same!
