I was just looking at the website for the upcoming Race to Alaska. I see a CLC Skerry is listed amongst the competitors. &nbsp;750 miles of Pacific coastline, cold water, killer whales, Sasquatches throwing things at you. That’s going to be epic. Good luck and I pray all the competitors stay safe!

**[John Guider](http://www.clcboats.com/newsarchives/john-guider-closes-the-loop.html?jm=1 "John Guider")** is racing in the **[Skerry Raid,](http://www.clcboats.com/shop/boats/development-projects/Skerry-Raid.html "Skerry Kit")** a decked-in and considerably modified version of the standard open Skerry.

The R2AK race committee should get an award for their accurate, lively, and inspired description of **[John Guider.](https://r2ak.com/2017-teams-full-race/team-adventure-ii/ "John Guider")**

Given the variety of serious racing machines competing in the R2AK, **[the official race tracker](http://tracker.r2ak.com/)** shows him doing really well for a boat with a 12-foot waterline!
