On January 9th, the 1st boat of 2021 changed hands: Stephanie Campbell of Anacortes Yacht Club sold Area 51 (hull #51), to Jim Betts, owner of James Betts Enterprises, which primarily builds Bieker boats. Jim purchased Area 51 for his young team that works for him, such as Will Porter, who will race the boat locally. They also plan on racing the boat in the WA360 (https://nwmaritime.org/wa360), which is the new race in Washington State created by the R2AK group. As such, Area 51 will be equipped with a pedal drive for the race! (Editor's Note: this I gotta see...)
Welcome to the Regional Fleet, Jim, Will, and Team, and enjoy your first M242!
