In July, skilled mariners sailed across the
Pacific from Los Angeles, California, to Honolulu, Hawaii, marking
the centennial anniversary of the Transpacific Yacht Race. As one
of the longest, non-stop ocean races, Transpac, as it’s called,
attracts top sailors from around the world. Challenged America, San
Diego, California, a nonprofit organization offering free sailing
programs for children and adults with disabilities, entered its
Tripp 40 racing sailboat, B’Quest, to compete with over 70
others. The B’Quest team members were chosen from 44
candidates with disabilities vying for the six coveted crew
positions aboard their ship.
