R2AK 2019 Sponsorship
The Race to Alaska has not lost popularity among our customers. This year we were asked to sponsor another determined boater Andrew Akehurst of Little Island Woodworks. He’s apprenticed with Abernethy & Gaudin for 4 years and he’ll be building a 22-foot rowing sailboat to participate in the race from Port Townsend to Ketchikan, AK.
We’ll be supplying Andrew with the epoxy he needs to complete the boat. Look forward to future updates on his progress and results of the race in June.
