Any mistakes we make, won't be the boat's. Self said such lengthy trips are one of the most enjoyable parts of sailing for him and his crew of Dave Willett, co-owner Jim Christenson, Paul Cobban and Karen Levine. It's going to be good to get out there with some swells and good breezes. We'll spend the first day seeing how good you guys are here, and then get going for second and third days. Willett has sailed in dinghy nationals and Self has competed in three world eight-metre championships.
