Pt Roberts Racing Hravn J109 sailboat racing Bellingham Lummi Island Point Roberts Race 2024 sailing

The annual Point Roberts Race, organized by Bellingham Yacht Club (byc.org) is a long-distance race which is often overnight. Every few years we a enjoy a fast race and finish before dark. This was almost our course record.

In both directions we flew our spinnaker, while executing many sail changes upwind and downwind as the weather delivered wind, calm, rain, sunshine. Light air and heavy air. Enough to broach with the kite up, twice.

This is not a short tiktok video. Rather it is intended for myself and my mates to re-live the racing experience in the future. Capturing Memories. And maybe some other watcher will enjoy the show and perhaps learn something. If you have a question about the race, the San Juan Islands, or our sailing maneuverers just ask a question in the comments.
