:: :: :: 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

:: :: :: now known as "Kitchen Remodel") and hope to have a
:: :: :: couple more.
