Check out some of the images from nationals at

Notice the F18's. We appreciated their cooperation in our opening ceremony! Very sad to hear of their accident just a few days later over eastern Oregon.

Great photos, but boy I can see what all the talk was about light winds. Looks at times from some photos that the wind was non-existent. Reminds me of the Mug Race winds in many years. One photo looks like the start with all the Catalinas ready to go, sure is impressive.

Really cool pictures! You all surely had tons of fun. Wish I could have been there. Actually, I was...just above your heads on a flight on Horizon Air (double prop plane) at around 1:15pm out of Portland Airport heading for Vancouver, B.C. You were probably racing down below. I saw a few sailboats I think. Was that where you raced? On the river near the Airport?
Anyway, my wife's family decided to do a big reunion cruise to Alaska for a week starting the Saturday of the National Race weekend. I sure wanted to be out there. Would have trailered from Southern California to do it if the family thing hadn't gotten planned a long time before.
Cruised the San Juans and inside passage on a big "boat", saw lots of sailboats, even a guy motor sailing right up to one of the (very cold) glaciers. Would really enjoy sailing the San Juans someday soon, too.

Going to sail in Kansas next year in the nationals "come hell or high water". I will make plans and "jump ship" if a family event tries to interfere.

BTW, Portland is a fantastic city. My wife and I have Portland at the top of our list for retirement in 5 - 6 years.

Fantastic pictures. I will be ready to have some racing fun in a year on the Wichita, Kansas lake.

Gary,

We were a bit downstream of the airport, but in that general neck of the woods (or river) between the two big bridges over the Columbia. We had our first warning at 1400 each day, so there could have been a few of us out there when you flew over. Wish you could have joined us.

The San Juans IS a cool place to visit, although winds can be light there, too.

BTW: I just cruised down to near Astoria, near the river's mouth, about 100 miles from Portland, to relax after the regatta....saw 24 knots of true wind one day. Last night's beer can I had a reefed main and the 135 up going to weather and was not under-powered. It CAN blow on this river, and usually does in the PM, but not for most of the regatta, dang it!

Let's keep this thread up here....Dennis just HAS to have more photos soon. Hope some of you attendees, and maybe others, will (or have) patronized the guy. He worked his rear off to get good photos, and spent a small fortune ramping up for Nationals. I have not yet heard when he will post more of the more than 2000 shots he took! Hope it be soon......
