Message: My name is Cedric Wesley Keneipp, and I grew up sailing in Bellingham WA, spending the majority of my time in skiffs, 505s, and keelboats. I also have experience with single-handed foiling boats and racing grand Prix-style boats such as TP52s, Farr 40s, and C&C30s.Last year I was a sailmaker at Doyle Newport; where I helped build sails for the TP52 super series, RC44, and various super yachts. I have been sailing for 11 years and have totaled well over 20,000 hours on the water. I would like to join a serious team for the Van Isle 360 that is calm in the face of stress. I have my safety at sea course as well. - Name: James Thompson

Message: Hello. I’m looking to join a team for all or part of this year’s race. I’ve been racing for about 12 years on a number of boats. Last year I raced in the 2022 Vic-Maui and 2022 and PNW Offshore race on a Beneteau 49. I also raced in two Van Isle 360s (2015 & 2019) on a Hanse 400e. In addition I’ve done a number of Southern Straits and Swiftsure races as well as other mid-distance local races, such as Round the County and Round Patos. I’m a regular in the local VARC races and Wednesday Evening races in the Summer (currently i am mostly racing on a J109). I’m usually on bow or spin/jib trim but also helm (lots of hours offshore while heading to Maui). I hold current safety at sea and marine first aid certificates.
