From Squamish, we trucked back down to Cascade Locks in the Columbia River Gorge for 29'er Nationals. We used to live in the Gorge so while the kids raced, we were all over the place.
Simon's EYC team was one of 3 youth teams to compete against some of the best-ranked match racers in the USA on the SF Cityfront.
Summer BAYS #1
The local kids racing in multiple classes out of Richmond YC over a windy weekend in June. Carnage both days! Simon raced lasers and Henry crewed in a c420 (then switched to skipper.)
Sears Cup Qualifier
Simon's EYC team got second. Winner RYC qualified for the Sears Cup at Chicago YC.
Skiffs at the Gorge!!
Henry and his friend Jason raced 29'ers at CGRA so we camped at Cascade Locks for a week. i-14's raced with them so it was Skiff Week.
Accompanying Gorge Gallery from my Note 8, no filters.
Surfing at Manhattan Beach
Carved out a day for surfing on way to c420 racing in San Pedro.
c420 Pacific Coast Championships
Great regatta out of Cabrillo Beach YC in San Pedro. The west coast c420 fleet is very healthy. Henry raced with Ben Foox and Simon raced with Jasper Reid.
The largest gathering of 29'ers in the western hemisphere ever! Simon and Henry raced together in #510, which turned out to be the former boat of their coach for the event Hanken.
