They’re a hardy bunch up there on Puget Sound and the Straits of Juan de Fuca, nothing seems to faze the sailors, whether it’s “shirts & shades” weather (not too often) to heavy foul weather gear and sou’wester broad-brimmed hats mashed down over your face (the usual fashionable “look”)!
\nThe three-event Center Sound Series is hosted by the Corinthian Yacht Club of Seattle. Those races include:- Three Tree Point Race- March 1, 2025 (Saturday)- Possession Point Race- March 8, 2025 (Saturday)- Blakely Rock Race- March 22, 2025 (Saturday)
\nThis year, a fairly significant fleet is ready to “rock and roll” in the awesomely gorgeous, sometimes brutal, Three Tree Point Race! There is both a large PHRF division and a growing ORC division.
\nORC DivisionIn this eighteen-boat fleet are some of the usual suspects of top offshore J\/Teams in the PNW. Hoping to be factors at the top of the leaderboard are teams like Jay Renehan & Chris Lanziger’s J\/111 HOOLIGAN, Richard Knierim\/ Stephanie Arnold\/ Gary Stuntz’s J\/112E MYSTERY, Dave Miller’s J\/99 ONE LIFE, John Murkowski’s J\/122E JOY RIDE, and David Schutte’s J\/109 SPY HOP.
\nPHRF DivisionThe twenty-one-boat PHRF fleet has a one-design fleet of nine J\/105s, a show of force by this venerable offshore one-design keelboat! Some of their top crews include John & Jack Aitchison’s famous MOOSE UNKNOWN, Allen Hughes & Shauna Walgren’s CREATIVE, Erik Kristen’s MORE JUBILEE, and Chris Phoenix’s JADED.
\nOther competitors in the PHRF Division include Dan Falk’s J\/27 LXIII, Chris Johnson’s J\/120 WITH GRACE, and Don Leighton’s J\/35 TAHLEQUAH.
