Gig Harbor LeMans Race November 12
This is truly one of the most fun
races held on Puget Sound each year and features a unique start. At the preparatory signal, all boats are at anchor in the starting area with crews below decks. At the starting signal, crews scramble topsides to weigh anchor, raise sails, and squirm out the mouth of Gig Harbor to a turning mark in Colvos Passage before returning to the finish inside Gig Harbor. If you haven’t participated in this race, you really should. It will easily become your favorite event of the year. For complete information, check out
