Don, I have done Round Bowen almost every year for a long time with the same crew... but not always on my boat. Last year I did it on a brand new Alerion 28. Hard to pass up the ride when it was offered. We were not the fastest last year but we were pretty to look at and Scott can attest that we kept in touch with Natural High for most of the beat.

I'll see if the owner of the Alerion and the group of friends that race together every year want to go back to Red-Five.
