Not one event on the West Coast.... home to by far the largest and oldest shorthanded racing orgs in the country. Ugg.
2020 Mixed Offshore Doublehanded Events:
Atlantic Cup | June 10-21 CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19
Lake Michigan Doublehanded Championship | June 11, 2020
New Bedford Yacht Club Whalers Race | South Dartmouth, MA | June 27, 2020
2020 Bayview Mackinac Race | Detroit, MI | July 11, 2020
I'm surprised that US Sailing has gotten into DH at all.... but that's kind of annoying.
Well mixed gender doublehanded IS in the 2024 Olympics and until the recent cancellation the DH "World Champtionship" was to be in Malta.
Giving them the benefit of the doubt, maybe they chose areas where they could develop shorthanded racing, figuring we already have it going here.Quote:

Stan Honey sent us a suggestion for a new race.
