In retrospect, Dorade's sixth in Class that year (St. David's Lighthouse Division) was a warmup for the 2014 race in which she finished second. The race was part of the “Return to Blue Water” campaign, Matt and Pam's effort to repeat all of the major ocean races Dorade had won in the 1930s, including the Transatlantic, Newport Bermuda, Fastnet and TransPacific ocean races.
