Race to Alaska (R2AK) Best Boat?!?!?

The Race to Alaska (R2AK) is a 650NM boat race from Port Townsend Washington to Ketchikan Alaska with only one rule - the boat can’t have an engine. The most successful boats have been racing sailboats, and in this video we’re going to take a closer look at some of these, including the question of whether a monohull or multihull is better.
Specific boats we discuss include:
Team Elsie Piddock - Farrier F-25C

Team Pure and Wild - Custom 8.5m Trimaran
