Doug Pihlaja and his crew on the J/105 Abstract were quick to commit to the 2020 PNW Offshore. Could it be because they are still reveling in their class win from 2019? This crew have been solid competitors since their first Offshore just a few years ago, but they are just getting faster as evidenced by last year’s performance and no doubt bolstered by their active race schedule including regular local races, Offshore, Swiftsure, and a double-handed Pacific Cup! This fun group is a welcome addition to any race – we are glad to have them.
