😍😍 well done Drew & team!! Awesome 🙌🏼

"The Cape 31 is just an awesome boat. We were doing over 20 knots going into the finish on Saturday. It was crazy. It’s an amazing boat for the Bay. The competition was very tough regardless of the margin we won by. Both of the other Cape 31s are very well-sailed. We have been going at it with Warrior Won consistently all summer on the East Coast. M2 is well sailed, and Skeleton Key with Peter Wagner and his crew do a really great job." - Drew Freides, PACIFIC YANKEE (CAPE 31)
