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.
