Item Description
Here’s a priceless opportunity to sail with a legend as he gets ready to circumnavigate the globe.
Rhode Islander Ken Read is inviting the high bidder and a guest aboard PUMA’s 2011-12 Volvo Ocean Race entry for a training day on Rhode Island Sound on a mutually-agreeable date before July third.
With boatloads of America’s Cup experience and over 40 yachting championships himself, Captain Read – and the PUMA team – are serious contenders for the title in the next Volvo Ocean Race. They came in second last time (2008-09), but intend to move up aboard PUMA’s new craft, the Rhode Island-built Mar Mostro!
Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime chance!
Item Special Note
High bidder will be contacted by the station after the auction and must follow up with PUMA Racing forthwith to make arrangements.
Boat in photos is Il Mostro, PUMA's 2008-09 entry in the Volvo Ocean Race.
Training time aboard Mar Mostro for the winner and a guest is estimated at up to about three hours.
