Upcoming Races

2013 marks Bodacious Dream’s second year of ocean racing competition.

Following Bodacious Dream’s win in the Atlantic Cup in May, Dave will head out to California for exciting Transpac Race …

:: Transpac Race (July 2013) http://www.transpacrace.com/

This race will see Dave racing not aboard Bodacious Dream, but rather on Bodacious IV … which was the boat that sailed up the Baja Peninsula in April as host vessel for our first Bodacious Dream Expedition.

Dave will be sailing as a part of the 10 man Bodacious Racing Crew. This is a group of old friends, most of whom are from the Great Lakes and single-handed sailors of their own right!

The race is set with three different starts … first on Thursday July 11th from the starting point off Point Fermin at the southern edge of Los Angeles.

The challenging race course takes competitors through a myriad of unforeseen conditions: from the cold, wet northeastern Pacific, through doldrums, enormous seas, abundant squalls and scorching heat, to the blustery trade winds of the Molokai Channel near the finish. After a long and grueling voyage across a lonely expanse of ocean, the racers arrive to the warm “Aloha” greeting promised by the King; honored to this day by scores of island volunteers, visitors, media and supporters.

The Awards Ceremony will be held on Thursday, July 25th
