Preparation proves to be the cornerstone of a successful Hawaii race, and Brendan delves into his decision-making process regarding vessel choice, sail selection, and boat modifications aimed at improving comfort, safety, and overall results. Instead of opting for a return delivery, Brendan chose to contribute to the youth sailing program at the Kauai Sailing Association by donating SIREN, marking the beginning of new adventures on the horizon.
