HH44 'Abide' and HH50 'Off-Piste' joined this year's Salty Dawg Rally, sailing from Hampton, VA to Antigua amongst a fleet of nearly 100 boats. After a quick stop in Bermuda, Abide and Off Piste pointed the bows South and made quick work of the 1000NM in variable conditions. HH44 Abide reported sustained boat speeds in excess of 10kts and maximum speeds in the high teens while surfing waves in two meter swells, a solid offshore test for the newly launched 44. Having clocked over 2200NM since arriving in the US in September, 44-04 and crew can now settle in for a season full of sunshine and fun sailing. The Dude abides!
