Thanks to Schooner Creek

Our thanks to Schooner Creek Boatworks for their sponsorship of the Oregon Offshore. Schooner Creek is the builder of Rage, the holder of the record for the fastest finish in the Oregon Offshore.

Third Amendment to NOR

We have made a third amendment to the Notice of Race.  It is available by clicking on the heading for this post or on the left of the posts.

This amendment requires that all boats that have not been inspected in Portland this year to be available and ready for inspection no later than 1 p.m. on May 11, 2011.  This will allow our inspectors sufficient time to inspect boats and will give the boats time to get any violations corrected before the mandatory Skippers Meeting that evening.

The First Amendment to the Amended Notice of Race is now posted

There have been a couple of changes to the Amended Notice of Race.  You can find the First Amendment here: First Amendment to Amended Notice of Race or click on the link at the left side of this site.

The amendments clarify issues relating to the required righting moment of entered boats and also the life raft/survival suit requirements.

We also want to remind skippers and crew that PIYA has changed the life jacket requirements - all life jackets must now include a crotch or thigh strap.  This is a fairly easy and inexpensive modification - Victoria Lessley found an inexpensive modification at Landfall Navigation: PFD crotch strap and they are certainly available elsewhere as well.
