The 38th Annual Oregon Offshore International Yacht Race took place May 8-11. Sponsored by the Corinthian Yacht Club of Portland, this race saw 29 boats sail the 193-nm trek from Astoria OR to Victoria BC. Winds and conditions resulted in both an “E-ticket” ride for all participants and a new course record – not an easy feat as it was last set 14 years ago by Rage (Steve Rander, Wylie 70), in 2000, with a finish-time of 19:46:41.
Congratulations to every skipper and crew member for an incredible showing!
