Rage

Always one to watch for line honors, records, and because she is so pretty, we are happy to report that Dave Raney has entered the Wylie 70 Rage once again.  Of course, we all know that Rage, built years ago by our title sponsor Schooner Creek Boat Works, has participated in many Oregon Offshore Races and Dave says they weren’t about to miss the first Pacific NW International Yacht Race. She is also a veteran of many Swiftsure races and Pacific Cups as well as a Transpac and a Tahiti race.  Rage may be extensively campaigned, but looks as good as the day she was built – it will be nice to have all of the boats together in Ilwaco so we can check them out. This year’s crew will include members of their Pac Cup crew and Portland Rage veterans. Welcome back Rage!

Escape Artist Makes it Three J/105s!

Dana Sibilla and his mix of veteran and first timers on Escape Artist have entered the PNW Offshore. 
That makes three J/105s which means these capable boats will have their own class (while still eligible for the overall).  Dana has been a very active racer on the Columbia River and beyond, having participated in several Offshores as well as Swiftsure and Whidbey Island Race Week.  This promises to be a competitive and interesting class to watch as Escape Artist and Free Bowl of Soup were within sight of each other for the entire 2019 race. 

Psst: Entries are rolling in and there are now three 70 footers registered for the #PNWOffshore! The move to Ilwaco is turning out to be a great call.
