Ouch! RP56, ‘Vasara’ Finds a Can

It “can” happen to the best of us. Unfortunately, this time is was the beautiful Reichel/Pugh 56, Vasara, that sails out of Schoonmaker Point Marina. The photo shows a good scraping of green paint down the port side that damaged the gelcoat and the port-side rudder.

The 56-ft Vasara was designed by Reichel/Pugh in San Diego and built by McConaghy in Australia. She’s a high-performance racer/cruiser, or fast cruiser that can be dialed up for racing. She was launched about three years ago. We look forward to seeing her sailing back on the Bay in top form soon.
