Great footage!! Who made it out of the harbor first? I've always thought it would be fun to be in a little kayak or row boat and briefly be "winning" the race. Also, tell team tips up that they have some explaining to do to my wife as to the root of my plans for 2026
Glad you enjoyed the footage. Last year we had 2 cameras on the water and this year we had a camera on land with a serious zoom. It's fun to change it up and get different footage. "Let's Wing It" was the first one out of the harbor or around Ogden Point. The race tracker from the official site let's you replay the race from a computer. At the bottom of the tracker screen change the date to Elapsed Time and you can get a playback of the race.
The 2024 race has started and 7 boats have ducked into the Dungeness Spit for protection. Based on the current forecast they will face similar conditions that can be seen in this video when they strike back out to cross to Victoria. Good luck racers!
Hey..... ~. The Big Guy ~. absolutely needs to offer TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS to THREE CLASS's of participants. There's the big boat class: Corsair 780 or Dragonfly. You know they are going to win from the dock here. Very obvious. But then How about SOLO. So if you go it alone ~ That's another Class. And then TWO PERSON. So if you have two people that is another class. Somehow split things up. MOST of these people know that they will not win. Why bother?
It's my understanding Hornblower built off of this plan angusrowboats.com/pages/sailing-rowcruiser You may be able to DM him from his socials on the Race to Alaska team page.
It's amazing to see what people come up with for this race. We have a dock walk video in the works that will show a little more detail on some of the boats. Stay tuned for that one.
