Annapolis resident David Askew and his brother have set a goal of completing most of the world’s major ocean sailboat races.
David and Peter Askew checked off several big-time boxes while campaigning a Reichel-Pugh 74-footer for several years. They captured the prestigious Barn Door Trophy as first to finish the prestigious Transpacific Yacht Race from Los Angeles to Honolulu, secured overall victory in the iconic Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac and set a course record for the venerable Fort Lauderdale to Key West Race.
When the Askew brothers set their sights on a new set of events they decided a different platform was in order.
