Gig Harbor Lemans Race November 13
Gig Harbor Yacht Club will be
hosting the fun and exciting Lemans race. The race format will be starting at anchor in the harbor with all crew below decks. If you don’t have a deck, bring a cheap blue tarp and fake it. When the starting gun goes off, the crews scramble to set sail while retrieving the anchor. We have ordered the sun to go with
the low-key fun. There will be a post race feed for all participants and a no host bar at the clubhouse. Complete info, and entry form can
be found at
www.gigharboryc.com Call John McPhail at (253) 732-7916 or Terry James at (253) 318-9976.
Round The County November 6-7
The Orcas Island Yacht Club and
the Friday Harbor Sailing Club invite you to participate in the 23rd annual, “Round The County” sailboat race. This race circles the San Juan Islands archipelago that comprise San Juan County, Washington, offering one of the most beautiful racing venues available. The course is often challenging, with numerous islands marking the edge of the course, a wide range of wind conditions experienced through the two days, and the very confusing tidal currents that careen around Islands. Friday night November 5th is the rendezvous at the Orcas Island Yacht Club, West Sound on Orcas Island. There will be a skippers meeting, pre-race briefing and no host cocktail party. Saturday’s race starts at Lydia Shoal
in Rosario Strait, just East of Obstruction Pass. The course goes south past Blakely Island, Decatur Island, around Lopez Island past Cattle Pass, across The Salmon Bank, up the west side of San Juan Island and finishes in Mosquito Bay. The course is 31 nm. Saturday night the sailors party in Roche Harbor. Sunday, leg two starts by Battle Ship
Island just outside of Roche Harbor, goes north toward Stuart Island, around the light house at Turn Point up Boundary Pass, outside of Patos Island, Sucia Island, Matia Island, Clark Island, south east along Orcas Island, and finishes at Lydia Shoal.
