It’s never too late to post… Swiftsure 2017 was a hit. Come along for a summary of a 33 hour adventure of sailing, drone flying, nap taking in the strait of Juan de Fuca… If you don’t sail, we hope it’ll give you a view into why we love it so much--and if you do sail--well maybe you can spot your boat and/or relive some good memories. Real action starts at 7 mins in...
A 1993 40.5 Hunter Legend, she’s certainly not even close to being the fastest but she’s never afraid to go rumble with the big guys. What she lacks in speed, she gives in spirit, and in stride.
Our course, one of four long races, is a 101.9nm stretch on the waters of the strait of Juan de Fuca between Victoria, BC and Neah Bay on the Washington coast at the Pacific Ocean.
It took us one day and 9 hours to finish, including an 8 hour anchor lull. We placed 5th in our class with smiles all around. Big thanks to Alec (17), Antoni, Antoine, Eric and Shannon for joining in the adventure.
If you can spot our mistakes and are interested in crewing on Pardon My French, shoot us a mail to svpardonmyfrench@gmail.com - will get in touch if we have available spots for upcoming races.
Hope you enjoy the ride; if you so like and share!

Great video! Miss the Swiftsure, late 70's early 80's we would get 400+ boats for the Swiftsure. Made for a wild rafting party the night before.

This makes me rethink every race start I have had in little Kailua Kona, Hawaii.....

Thanks PMF. Very kind of you. I'd love to do some sailing in the Pacific Northwest. I got a key message from your video: "Don't miscalculate the tide!" Wow. Against all advice of friends, next Spring I intend to head up the North Sea to Norway. I may shoot a couple of videos along the way if the opportunity presents itself. Looking forward to more videos from you guys as well. I really enjoyed the Swiftsure clip. Best regards

More will be coming... Norway sounds stunning... Look me up if you come by these parts... Tides here require a bit of practice but when timed well they push you nicely... when timed well only ;-) ...
