Notice of Race n/a
History:
Invitation & Description:
This race is one of the most exciting sailboat races in the Pacific Northwest! Sail south through 100 miles of sunshine, blue skies and the most beautiful coastline on the West Coast. From the mouth of the Columbia to the mouth of the Yaquina in Newport, Oregon. The race is handicapped at just under 100 miles that typically includes starlit overnight racing on the ocean (or possibly foggy :)). The elapsed time record is held by “Grins” at 10 hours and 45 minutes! This is a Pacific Northwest version of the Ensenada Race. Plan a stay in Newport and explore our fabulous central Oregon coast, or get together with your fellow competitors and race back to Astoria.
Eligibility & Instructions
This is an offshore race. This race is limited to boats of 24 feet overall length and longer. Entrants must take all responsibility for the safety of their vessel and crew and are strongly encouraged to meet the minimum safety equipment requirements of the Pacific International Yachting Association for this type of race. A cruising class may be available depending on entries. A skippers meeting and pre-race social will be held Friday July 29 in Astoria. On Sunday the 31th a welcome party and trophy presentation will be held at the Yaquina Bay Yacht Club in Newport
