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.
