Dear Singlehanded Sailing Society.
A group of us from Washington and Oregon states have been thinking about creating a race to Hawaii from Astoria Oregon. This race will be unique in that it will include a bar crossing, creating an additional challenge to entrants if conditions do not cooperate. We will be finishing in Hanalei bay, and will start the race at a date that would be conducive to our fleet finishing in the same time-frame as the shtp and Shaka challenge. If possible we would like to share finish line and awards ceremony duties.
So far, about 8 people have expressed interest in the race.
Please let us know what you think.
Respectfully,
SHOW racing
