Hebe Haven members put on a great show in this year’s Around The Island Race with phenomenal winds helping drive their success—check out the account of Panacea’s circumnavigation (page 46) and tales from Ichiban’s journey (page 49). David and Jackie Peers report on how Brigadoon survived Typhoon Haiyan that recently slammed into the Philippines (page 36). We head west from Trinidad to Panama with Zulfi on Moonshadow (page 42).
