My calendar says it’s only the first week of December, but we already have 6(!), entries for next year’s Pacific NW Offshore. That’s got to be some kind of record, and to tell the truth, most, if not all, of these skippers actually entered in November.

Dave Raney’s Rage wins the Cascadia Cup
Dave Raney’s Wylie 70 Rage wins the inaugural Cascadia Cup on the way to victory in the 2019 Swiftsure Lightship Classic.
Dave and his determined crew stuck it out in light wind, no wind and counter current conditions to finish the Classic course at 00:10:58 on Monday the 28th.
Dave and his crew are a competitive bunch and were determined to finish for bragging rights and for the Cascadia Cup win.
The Cascadia Cup is a trophy awarded to the yacht with the lowest combined corrected time in the Oregon Offshore and either the Cape Flattery or the Lightship Classic Swiftsure races.
The Cascadia Cup trophy has been donated by the Royal Victoria Yacht Club and will be awarded at the 2020 Swiftsure awards ceremony.
Congratulations to Dave and his tough crew of offshore veterans.
It is a great feeling to see Rage as the first winner of this trophy.
Cascadia Cup
(Updated 11/16/19)
What is the Cascadia Cup? If you’re racing the Swiftsure you need to know about the Cascadia Cup because competing in the Swiftsure is already half of what you need to win the Trophy!
The Cascadia Cup is a trophy given to the yacht with the lowest combined corrected time in both the Pacific NW Offshore, The Swiftsure Lightship Classic and the Cape Flattery Races (PHRF NW). Want to win it? Corinthian Yacht Club (CYC) of Portland, Oregon, invites you to race for the 2020 title by signing up for the Pacific NW Offshore, sponsored by Schooner Creek Boat Works,at www.cycportland.org. You’ll automatically be entered into the running. The first winner of the trophy for 2019 was Rage. Trophy presentation will be at the 2020 Swiftsure. Hope to see you there.
So, start your planning now for 2020. Make it a clean sweep of the two best and most important yacht races in the Pacific Northwest. Hope to see you in Ilwaco, WA our new host city, and on the starting line at Buoy 2 off the mouth of the Columbia River on May 7, 2020.
