Two More Finishers - Canard & Bum's Rush

Canard and Bum's Rush have now finished the 2016 CYC Oregon Offshore International Yacht Race!

The next boat to approach the finish line will be Night Runner. Then, we'll have break for an hour or two before Wy'East comes rollin' along.

Congratulations to the captains and crews of Canard and Bum's Rush... Welcome to Victoria!

Three More Boats approach The Finish - Canard, Bum's Rush & Night Runner

Three more boats have passed Race Rocks and are close to finishing: Canard, Bum's Rush, and Night Runner.

Night Runner was an early leader in the race by coaxing the fleet right towards the shore at Cape Disappointment. Let's say that again - TOWARDS Cape Disappointment - a gutsy move for even the most seasoned sailors.

Leading much of the fleet up the Washington coast, Night Runner definitely had its admirers from the early goings of the race.

It looks like they ran into some difficulty last night in the Strait. We're not sure what happened there, but I'm sure we'll learn in time.

Canard and Bum's Rush have stuck to each other like glue for much of the race. It's got to be a great feeling and spectacle to see these two fine racing yachts finish so close together after such a long grueling race.



Turnagain Finishes!

With 51 hours of racing under their belt and 24 hours to spare, Turnagain is happy to finish.



Oregon Offshore Update - The 2016 Oregon "Grinder"! 24 Hours & 14 Boats Remaining!

Well, it's been an interesting last couple of days on the water with the 2016 CYC Oregon Offshore International Yacht Race!

So far, ten boats have finished, with 14 boats remaining out on the course.

There are still 24 hours remaining in the time limit for the final boats to finish the race. As the western end of the fleet rounds Cape Flattery this morning, it looks like all of the boats will have ample time and opportunity to finish!

We're going to call this year's race the "Oregon Grinder" due to the extremely grueling conditions.

I counted the tacks from one of the cruising boats on the first day of the race. I'll bet some of these boats haven't tacked that much in the past six months! From light winds to strong breezes, from winds on the nose for hours to winds from all over the place, to monster holes and wicked tides... It's been a real challenge to get to the finish this year.

Congratulations to all of the participants in the 2016 CYC Oregon Offshore International Yacht Race!

Traffic Jam at Cape Flattery As The Final Boats Prepare To Enter The Strait

The Makah people and Mick Dodge must be getting a great view right now from Cape Flattery.


Turnagain Trucks Towards The Finish Line

Truckin' NNE towards Victoria at over 9 knots, Turnagain will be the next finisher in the 2016 CYC Oregon Offshore International Yacht Race. What a sight that must be! There's a fresh westerly breeze that's kicked up near the finish, providing a wild ride for the next few competitors and spectators viewing from shore.


Finally! The Fleet Arrives In Victoria!



Next Finishers - Turnagain, Bum's Rush & Night Runner Expected To Finish Next

As the last of the A fleet boats round Race Rocks and heads for the finish, Turnagain is leading her pack.

Night Runner had a great start to the race, but found difficulties navigating through the Strait last night.

Oregon Offshore Racers Enter The Strait

The final boats are just rounding the Cape and should be in the Strait before noon today. There is still more than 24 hours left before the time limit expires, and it looks as if everyone will make it across the line in time with some decent winds today and this evening.

First B Fleet Boat Reaches Race Rocks!

Raindrop has sailed a phenomenal race so far, and just recently shook off her pesky competition somewhere near Sooke. Now, set to round Race Rocks with a favorable tide and dawning daylight, Raindrop is poised to place well in this year's 2016 CYC Oregon Offshore International Yacht Race.

And The Winner Is...

We'll let the CYC Finish line team update you on finish times and winners, here is a last screen shot just before the winner crosses the line... But, who's the winner?



Could Panama Red Pull off An Upset?

Maybe we shouldn't have laughed at that voodoo doll thing...



Panama Red Moves Up With The Leaders!

This is getting to be too much... Who's going to win?



Oregon Offshore Shocker! Time Bandit Coming on Strong at the Finish!

Kinetic V and Rage may get a surprise from Time Bandit at the finish! As the two leaders sit in a hole less than one mile from the finish, Time Bandit, Panama Red, Anam Cara and even Free Bowl of Soup are coming on strong... and Raindrop's not too far back, either!




Can Rage Pull Off a Last Minute Upset for Line Honors?

This is getting really good as the leaders duel it out in the last mile to the finish!


No Finishers Yet!

There are now 5 boats that have passed Race Rocks and are well on their way to the finish of the 2016 CYC Oregon Offshore International Yacht Race.

Kinetic V is less than 2 miles from the finish in very fluky winds;
Rage is close behind Kinetic V, moving NE directly towards the line;
Anam Cara took the inside passage at Race Rocks;
Panama Red and Time Bandit sailed around the outside of Race Rocks and were able to maintain boat speed;
THERE ARE NOT YET ANY FINISHERS TO THE RACE!
Kinetic V looks like the line honors winner this year, but she hasn't finished yet! If Rage has anything to say about it, they'll be around the line soon, too.

Class A2 Leaders Approach Race Rocks!

Closing distance on the leaders fast, Anam Cara, Panama Red, and Time Bandit are still rolling strong towards Race Rocks.

It appears Anam Cara will try the inside route (didn't we already see this?).

Panama Red and Time Bandit seem to be taking the more conservative "great circle route" around the hole and push at Race Passage.

Max ebb is still an hour away, so these guys will have a tough fight to the finish!
