Jester Challenge 2006
- Single Handed Plymouth to Rhode Island
Only two boats finished the first Jester Challenge from Plymouth to
Newport, Rhode Island in the summer of 2006. Pete Hill was one of these in his
30-year old Kingfisher 20+JR Shanti which was almost certainly the oldest
and second smallest boat in the fleet.
