(Written by Abby)

We are a father-daughter team returning for our second Raid. Times Hobie sailing with my dad have been some of my favourite moments for almost as long as I can remember and there is no one I’d rather sail with. We are excited to make new memories and have an adventure that gets us out of our everyday routine back on Denman Island. Looking forward to seeing familiar faces, meeting new people, and making amazing summer memories with all you Raiders!

The Boat

Our boat, Falkor, is a 1970’s era HobieCat 16. It’s been Frankenstein-ed together with parts from three or four different old boats over the years and has been through her share of mishap on the rocks around her home on Denman Island but… there is a rumour going around that she got new sails and can’t wait to try them out! Falkor is named after a legendary Luck Dragon of note. We’ll take all the luck we can get.
