Greetings from the Pacific Northwest. August 14, 2010 will be the 3rd running of the Hood River Yacht Club "Double Damned" Race.

It's a 41 mile Downwind/Upriver race through the Columbia River Gorge. As a new Express Owner ( Monster Express #87 ) I'm looking forward to giving the Moore's ( Last year's winner Morgan Larson won with a time of 3:53! ) a challenge this year and it would be great if we could get a couple more Express 27's up here for the race.

The NOR is located here at the Hood River Yacht Club website:

There's a thread on Sailing Anarchy and also a great video put together by Sean Trew at Pacific Fog here:

Give me a call or email with any questions.
