Delicate Balance, sailing for the Vancouver Rowing Club and skippered by Pierre Cote.
Delicate Balance is an X-One Ton designed by Niels Jeppeson and built in Denmark by X-Yachts in 1985.
Racing under a former owner, Delicate Balance was 48 North's Boat of the Year in 1987 with two first overall finishes on the long course of West Vancouver Yacht Club's Southern Straits Race.
Delicate Balance recently underwent a complete refit and this will be her first Vic Maui race.
Pierre hails from Vancouver, B.C. and has sailed all over the west coast both for fun and on commercial vessels including fishboats, packers and tugs.
Pierre reports that " I am really looking forward to the Vic-Maui Race for more of the experiences and adventures that are unique to blue water sailing".
"Our team is hoping for good reaching conditions around the North Pacific High, exciting downwind sailing in the Trades and a sailor's welcome when we get to Lahaina".
