Homebuilt for Distance
by Jake on Jan.24, 2007, under Miscellaneous
A team of creative sailors at NC state are constructing a sailing craft on which they will compete in the Watertribe Everglades Challenge. The call themselves RAF (I’ll let you investigate why on their site). Strangely enough, I learned of this effort from the front page of Sailing Anarchy this morning. I say strangely enough, because I was hanging out with one the team members, Alan Stewart (Team Velocity Sailing), during some of the Tradewinds regatta in the Keys and he didn’t mention a word of it. My hurt feelings aside, it looks like it’s sure to be an interesting project and a very entertaining and fun challenge to actually sail/race over some rough terrain on a vessel they’ve built themselves. Be sure to check them out at the Sailing Adventures of Team RAF!

Jake what’s the deal with Project One Meter? It looks cool what ever it is.
Thanks for the RAF post.

“Project One Meter” is a US One Meter class compliant R/C keelboat we’re building and setting up for limited production. It’s been an evolution of thoughts and ideas culminated between a three sailor thinktank where I work during the day.
I can’t wait to live vicariously through you guys in the Everglades Challenge!
