KATANA sets Course record for Monohull.
Steady wind throughout the race provided the opportunity for
Dr. Laura Schlessinger to be the first to finish the 67 nautical
mile race from Santa Barbara to Ventura around Santa Cruz Island
and to establish a new course record of 7 hours, 9 minutes and
37 seconds. The finish time for the new KCYD 47' yacht Katana was
51 minutes faster than the previous record set in 1998 by the
yacht Jumping Jack Flash.You Tube Clip (right click link to open a separate window)
