Pacific Northwest Offshore Racers,
From the entire Corinthian Yacht Club of Portland and Schooner Creek Boat Works, our title sponsor, we'd like to extend a heartfelt invitation to register for the 2022 Pacific NW Offshore International Yacht Race. Here's the link: https://www.regattanetwork.com/clubmgmt/applet_registration_form.php?regatta_id=23509.
We also want to extend a heartfelt "Thank You" to those of you – skippers, crew, support teams – who participated in last year's race (24 boats) that finished in Port Angeles. You helped us keep the unique history of this race alive during a time of dramatic uncertainty. In that regard. we so appreciated the Port Angeles Yacht Club for stepping in as the substitute finishing club and for all their hospitality. This year, baring any extraordinary new drama, we're headed back to Victoria. We're also back on the usual dates of two weeks before Swiftsure, May 12-15. We hope you all will continue to support this race as you have in the past and sign up today. Since registration has just opened, you can actually be the first to register and then be the first boat we profile on the entrant's page of the website. Cool, no?
While there still may end up being some logistical hurdles that we'll all have to jump over, know that all of us here at CYC will do whatever it takes to make the process easy for you. Moreover, the folks in Ilwaco are already preparing to up their game from last year, which any of you who were there for the start will attest was already an incredibly supportive performance.
So, sign up today. If you have questions or concerns, send them directly to me at: race.c...@cycportland.org.
See you in Ilwaco.
Denny Damore
CYC Pacific NW Offshore Race Captain and CYC Commodore
