There will be a tent set up for registration at the Jetty Island parking lot on the grass by the bathrooms. You may register then if you have not already signed up online and used Paypal.

All competitors will need to be on site no later than 1pm the day of the race in case the wind starts early. We will have a skippers meeting and then get it on! But the typical senario will be 1700 skippers meeting. Jetty typically blows in the afternoon.

Free BBQ and shwag give aways from supporting sponsors.

Enjoy,

Walter Young

Ok, here are the results for the first weekend of races for the Cabrinha Northwest Race Series. Thanks to all who came out to support the event! The next weekend should have a much better turn out due to no conflicting Regional events. Congratulations to Rainbow Monds for her clean sweep of the first weekend's racing heats. She leads the points in the Race Board class along with Christian Johnson in the Directional, Twin and Skim class. The wind started out very light and with 15 minutes remaining for a final possible start of 8PM, it fired up and we got two very tough heats in. It was brutal trying to finish each leg. Great job Everett Yacht Club and Motion Board Shop for all the help with volunteers in order to make the event a success! See you in July with an even more intense kiter cross style section in the race course!
