Rev: v3 · Updated: 2026-06-11 · Race mode
Boat: Lupo Di Mare (Italia 12.98 Fuoriserie) · USA 12985 · ex-Querencia Race: 636 nm · 150°T · Start 1300 EDT Friday June 19, 2026 · St. David's Head finish
🧊 This is the crew's reference for the race. All routing/weather analysis is pre-race research — per RRS 41 the live data and visuals freeze at the June 19 start and do not update while racing. On the boat: pull the card for your current leg; the navigator's locked route is pinned at the nav station.
🚨 On the water — need it now
- Safety: MOB · Emergency quick reference · Squall protocol · Comms plan
- Your leg card: 01 Start→Block · 02 Offshore · 03 Pre-Stream · 04 Stream entry · 05 Inside Stream · 06 Stream exit · 07 Mid-ocean · 08 Bermuda approach · 09 Squall/frontal · 10 Tactical · 11 Finish & arrival
- Your role: Watch Captain · Driver · Trim · Pit · Bow · Navigator
- Watch + brief: Crew Orientation · Watch roster
Before the dock lines come off: run the Final Crew Reality Check — 8 go/no-go questions; any "no" outranks remaining routing or calibration work.
