races including 2 0 1 0 . In very challenging 2009 Marion/Bermuda race, Whisper was 2nd in
Class A, 1st in IRC, and 1st for a boat from New England. Approximately 1/3 of the fleet did not
finish the race that year because of the severe conditions.
Whisper is heavily built of aluminum and was designed to race offshore. Her bottom has been
maintained in racing condition, reconditioned, painted, burnished to smooth racing finish each
spring by knowledgeable crew. All winches completely disassembled and reconditioned each
year. New alternator June, 2010. Mast un-stepped and reconditioned winter 2009-2010.
Halyards and sheets replaced as needed, most new in last few years.
Known work items needed: Running back stays will need to be replaced. Also, radar had work
done prior to last year's race but was still not operational. Maybe issue with power getting to
antenna. All boards were replaced.
