They wanted an event that would put the Oregon racing community into "offshore" racing rivaling Seattle, BC and even California. The first race was from Astoria south to Newport. It started at buoy "2" off the entrance to the Columbia River and went to buoy "Y" at Newport, Oregon. The distance was 100 miles. The Corinthian Yacht Club of Portland welcomes your interest and invites your participation in the annual Oregon Offshore International Yacht Race. This 193 mile race begins off the coast of Astoria, Oregon and finishes in the harbor at Victoria, British Columbia. The well experienced Portland fleet will be vying to see who can best the record time and return the Perpetual First Overall Trophy to home waters. Full Story »
