Shellbacks Zoom Presentation

Shellbacks Zoom Presentation 12:15 pm to 2 pm Melodie Schaffer joins us once again, this time with World Races.  She embarked on the inaugural Globe 40 double handed race around the world in her Class 40 boat 'Whiskey Jack' .  The race entailed 8 legs, around all three Capes.  She sailed 35,000 miles in this adventure with 174 days on the ocean.  From torn sails, to pirates, to no wind instruments or communication at times, the challenges were immense.  Despite the challenges, she won leg 7, and set three race records including the overall one of 347 miles in a 24 hour period.  She was the only female skipper for the entire race, and she will be sharing her stories and adventures with us
