RegionalRaces

The Columbia Basin Sailing Club annually hosts a regional regatta (Desert Regatta) that attracts sailors from around the Pacific Northwest. In turn, avid sailors from the Columbia Basin Sailing Club travel around the Pacific Northwest to race in regional regattas and occasionally beyond, to national events. The importance of these regional and national regattas are reflected in the club’s calendar in that, whenever possible, the club’s series races and fun sails are planned so as not to conflict with selected regional and national regattas. Regattas in the Pacific Northwest promoted by the club are:

  • Alex Bell Regatta, Lewis-Clark Sailing Association, Lewiston, ID & Clarkston, WA
  • National Offshore One Design (NOOD), Seattle Yacht Club, Seattle, WA & Corinthian Yacht Club, Seattle, WA
  • Vancouver Lake Regatta, Vancouver Lake Sailing Club, Vancouver, WA
  • Al Morris Regatta, Willamette Sailing Club, Yale Lake, WA
  • Flying Scot Districts, Port Townsend, WA
  • Flying Scot Sandpoint Regatta, Sandpoint, ID
  • Lake Chelan Sailing Regatta, Lake Chelan Sailing Association, Chelan, WA
  • Bellingham Bay One Design Regatta, Bellingham Yacht Club, Bellingham, WA

Regional Race Results
