myriad coves and islands of
Howe Sound and the Strait
of Georgia.

Last year’s entrants in-
cluded craft of all sizes from
23 ft. to 45 ft, among them
yawls, ketches and and even
the odd trimaran. By the
time they reached the
finishing hne some of the
skippers were astounded at
the number of knots they'd

Although special awards
go, as usual, to the fastest
entrants, the race is con-
ceived primarily as a “fun”
event — with a whole raft of
other prizes for such
achievements as Best
Dressed Crew, Cleanest
Bottom, Most Luxurious
Head and Last To Finish,

among numerous other

categories.

“We hike to think of it as a
race where everyone wins
something,” says News
publisher Peter Speck,
himself an avid sailor who
organized the event in 1978
in collaboration with co-
sponsor Bnan Morse of the
North Shore Sailing Schoo!l.

A pre-race’ skippers’
