Motherships

Poor Man’s Rock anchored with a bevy of boats moored alongside for a meal or the night.

The Rock in the yard.

All our meals are prepared aboard our Mothership(s) by talented Captains and capable crew members. Motherships also include powered or sailing vessels that can support the fleet by sweeping up exhausted racers on long windless legs or maintain a safety net in stormy weather. Below is a gallery of this fantastic fleet and talented component of the Barefoot Raid community.

Poor Man’s Rock

Skipper Peter Lironi graciously takes a break from supplying essential items to hard-to-reach places, providing the platform he built himself that is so adept at feeding an army of Raiders. The talented galley crew has been led ably by Pat Gibson with Amy Jane assisting.

All aboard for tasty treats!
