RIPS Race Week
San Juan 24 Taking all Bullets

Another successful RIPS Race Week wrapped up on picturesque Pender Island in the Canadian Gulf Islands. The racing was particularly successful for Ghost Dancer, Larry McFadden’s San Juan 24. Ghost Dancer cleaned up in its division with 13 bullets and a convincing first place overall
