"Grow the Sport" Race
This is an opportunity for you to get a taste for racing without committing to a whole race series. This event is focused on educating crew. There is no cost to race, but it is important that you come prepared with your pfd, gloves, a stop watch if you have one, water and a snack to share for after the race.
If you want to learn more, check out sailpdx.org. Each boat/skipper is required to register for the event and pay an entry fee of $30, so only sign up if you are for sure going to be able to be there for the race.
Come experience racing to see if you enjoy it and meet skippers who may have openings for crew during the race season.
