:: I hope we get some more Express' up for next year's
:: race.
::
:: :: The 2011 "Double Damned" Downwind Race will be held
:: :: August 6th in the Columbia River Gorge. It's a 42 mile
:: :: Downwinder/Upriver from Cascade Locks Oregon to The
:: :: Dalles Oregon. It's the Gorge so it's usually Windy (
:: :: Record is 3:53 - Moore 24 - Morgan Larson in 2009 )
:: ::
:: :: We would love to have any and all Express' racing. Both
:: :: Hood River Yacht Club Express' will be racing ( My
:: :: "Monster Express" #87 and the newly relocated Bessie Jay
:: :: now known as "Kitchen Remodel") and hope to have a
:: :: couple more.
:: ::
:: :: There should be a strong fleet this year with the Moore
:: :: 24 Nationals the week before in Cascade Locks.
