their Blow Your Own Horn Contest entry, “Karl liked the ‘Swift’ part of the Swiftsure race much better than the ‘Drift’ part. He eagerly switched from the Swiftsure Bank Race to the Cape Flattery Race for Multihulls when the opportunity arose more than 20 years ago. No more flopping about all night on the Swiftsure Bank for him!” So, it seems Karl got his wish for a ‘Swift’sure, at least from the start until Bad Kitty’s rig came down.
