What is the craziest story you’ve heard about offshore racing?

Denisse Terran

Hey there,

The craziest story I've heard about offshore racing happened a few years ago during the Key West World Championship. One of the boats, called "Team CRC," was racing at top speeds when they hit a giant wave and ended up flipping over. The entire crew was thrown into the water, and the boat was completely destroyed.

Thankfully, all the crew members were able to swim to safety and didn't suffer any major injuries. However, what happened next is truly unbelievable. The team decided that, despite flipping over and destroying their boat, they weren't going to let it stop them. They worked tirelessly for the next 24 hours to rebuild the boat and get it back in the race.

Not only did they get the boat running again, but they managed to finish the race in third place - a completely incredible feat given what had happened. I can't imagine the skills and determination it took to pull off something like that.

I think this story perfectly encapsulates the madness and intensity of offshore racing. It's a sport that requires not only incredible physical stamina, but also mental fortitude and an unrelenting drive to succeed. I have so much respect for these athletes and the risks they take on every time they step into a boat.

Do you have any crazy stories about offshore racing that you've heard? I'd love to hear them!

Best,
