Once the repairs are complete, they will then re-fair and re-bed the keel and then spray paint her bottom. The Carrera will be coming in later this winter for her new keel and have her bottom redone as well as Awlgripping the hull. She will be ready for racing this summer.

Unlike most sailing endeavors today which consistently seek commercial spon- sorship and goodwill donations, Paris will complete his mission in the Corinthian spirit of sailing.
