• Jenny McNamara with husband Charlie from Tulsa, OK on Lady, a Catalina 470, have lived aboard their boat cruising the Eastern Seaboard for two years.
• Gail Bowdish, an Ocean Master in the Caribbean 1500 having completed more than seven events with us was a crew member on Joy For All, a Faar 50, owned by Gil and Joy Smith from Glastonbury, CT.
• Steve Ormond crewed on Lady.  This was his first year as a volunteer crew member in the rally.
