Hello sir, You made the comment that you made your boat.... I am looking for this exact set up for my own self inflicted adventure. Any thoughts or recommendations would be super helpful!

#4--get Americano at Better Living Through Coffee.

Thinking that band just mighta been up early R2AK sendoff in PT!

מרגש לראות❤

If that's not playing on Malolo's radio all day... it'll be on mine (Narrows Minded)

Did the youth team from Orcas island finish in Ketchikan ?

great video, Bravo Zulu boys!

OK I second @mghemke but also, HOW? Chat GPT? Race admin genius (well we know that, but with music)?

Such a great race! Thanks to all and congratulations!! It should be every year !!

אהד כל הכבד על ההשיג המרשים לגוף ולנפש , אנחנו גאים בך , אתה אדם שמפיץ טוב , שזה בימינו הגועשים לא עיניין של מה בכך . . . אתה משמש השראה אמיתית לכולנו .

To the record executive/R2AK race boss/Media team that made all this great music possible for this year's R2ak, I only have one question: Where can I buy the album?

Thank you for the dreams and the memories

The wheels stayed on ! ❤ "it's hard but I like it" 👏 👏 👏

ah ha.... well done..

Truly inspirational. Gives me hope for the future.

Congratulations on your accomplishment and finishing the passage to Alaska. I had my doubts if this could be done safely on this boat, but you were able to cross the finish line with a smile.

And I thought the Hobie 16 was a wet boat.

on my list for '26-27

Congratulations!!

Fantastic!

Well done, congratulations!

"Most irritating parts" LOL

Awesome!!

I covet this trophy more than anything else in the world

Thank you Duckworks and Turnpoint Design for such a prestigious award! It adds to the overall thrill of the competition. Good job!

Well done!

If you have to send someone up the mast it might as well be Brian!

Team bonesaw's revenge incarnate revenge reinvigorated incarnate, congrats.

R2AK BLISS

This one goes out to Teams Fairly Fleabag, Mr X, The Spirit of Nevetz, Victory Oar Duff and Outtaspace! You are our heros, nice and steady and we'll see you in Ketchikan! Can't wait.

I felt that! Congrats to all.🤙🤙

thats it right there

I'd say Hobie owes you a debt of gratitude... not only for your finish, but for the awesome video you put together to show everyone. So glad you got some usable sporks for the effort!

Every single one of you is a star!!! Super accomplishment!!! The NORTHWEST SPIRIT in full force. Great job everyone! Well done!

Let's go!!! Nice work racers!!!

moar

I am totally amazed by their skill, attitude and determination!!! Great video!! Check out the R2AK podcast featuring them, truly a dynamic duo for sure!!

amazing sailing, beautiful scenery! what an adventure

Go Mr.X!! Kick ass!!

You guys are truly amazing!!

One of my favorite R2AK videos. Kudos to everyone involved.

That is one of the great performances in R2AK history! That black deck back was ridiculously small. 😅

Great job!

Awesome accomplishment. Hopefully, Team Spirit of Nevetz can finish on his X Cat.

Great work tips up. That is an undertaking. Is there one big thing you'd do differently?

They said they'd keep up with the monohull yachts. Big talk? Actions speak. Loved the (apparently) unflappable, un-phazable attitude of both.

Great spirit!

Well earned set of sporks! Congrats!

Way to go team Tips UP! Finishing on a Hobie 16 takes some serious seamanship and love the name-- very appropriate for a Hobie 16. Great video footage too-- brought back some good and bad memories of sailing a larger beach cat in 2015 (dnf) and 2016. Congrats for being first in the "20' and under" side bet. Enjoy that set of tactical titanium sporks!

Awesome.
