All About the Fastnet

This Friday, March 25, Sequoia Yacht Club in Redwood City will host Bay Area sailor Mike Reed for his presentation on the 2015 Rolex Fastnet. Reed, who has more than 20,000 ocean miles and is a veteran of the Rolex Sydney Hobart, Pacific Cup and Chicago Mackinaw, will detail the challenges of sailing the Fastnet, which is considered to be one of the top three most difficult races in the world. Reed served as watch captain aboard the First 40 Bunyip.

A traditional Irish menu of shepherd’s pie, along with chicken and salad, will be served for dinner starting at 6 p.m. Sequoia YC, just off Highway 101, welcomes guests to come by for an evening of hearty food and a good sea story.
