OREGON OFFSHORE - OFF TO THE RACES

Just a quick note to update you all. Some of you may know more about this project than others, but most know that we have been preparing Turnagain for some distance racing. Our first official distance race is scheduled to start at 10 am PDT today (May 9,2013).

The delivery crew (Steve C, Jason B, and myself) got the boat to Astoria last weekend with minimal damage and some fantastic sailing. Jason had to return to Vancouver on Monday, but Steve and I spent the week prepping all last minute items. The remainder of the crew arrived Wednesday afternoon (David S, Darin F, Keith A) and after our skippers meeting are ready to tackle the course.

Feel free to follow along on the race tracker at www.oregonoffshore.org


The winds are forecast to be light, so it may be a real struggle to keep the boat moving in the right direction, but we are excited to get the race going.
