This Thursday, we share with the entire offshore racing community and all sports enthusiasts the profound sorrow that grips us. We extend our deepest condolences to the family, loved ones, and all those who knew Charlie Dalin. An exceptional skipper and lifelong competitor, Charlie was above all passionate about offshore racing and the sea, a role model far beyond the realm of sport. At every race, we all witnessed the tenacity and determination he always displayed, qualities that so defined him.
