The Free Bowl of Soup guys are anxious to get back out racing after a light year in 2019 and to dispel rumors they have become powerboaters. They were the second boat to sign up and are really looking forward to the change of the shoreside starting venue to Ilwaco. This will be the Soup’s seventh offshore, but if you count all of the Offshores crewing on other boats, there is even more experience here. These guys are proud of the boat’s performance through the years, topped by an overall win in 2017. They are expecting a J/105 fleet made up of Portland boats and would love to encourage other J/105s to join in on the fun. Speaking of joining in on the fun, astute readers may notice the first two boats to sign up are CYC Portland board members, and wonder if there is some advantage of serving on the CYC board. There are open positions, you should see if one is right for you! Find out more about the Free Bowl of Soup program here.
