Eagle Harbor Navigation Contest April 05, 2025
Three contests were completed at this event:
First: EAGLE HARBOR CHALLENGE, sponsored by The Queen City Yacht Club (QCYC). Skipper Don Larson finished 1st in Class 3.
Second: The FIRST OF THE SEASON, sponsored by QCYC. Skipper Jim Anderson was 4th O/A and 1st in Class 1.
Third: The International Cruiser Race. (ICR). This contest originally involved both the Puget Sound International Power Boat Association (IPBA) and the B.C. IPBA. Ten years ago, the B.C. group folded and are no longer involved. Skipper Jim Anderson was 1st in class 1.
Next Up:
THE ALASKA 1000 CRUISER CONTEST. This is a contest that got started in 1928 and was run from Olympia to Juneau, AK. Today the contest is a bit shorter and starts in Seattle and ends at Wrangle Island, AK. The fleet will leave on the 15th of May and will arrive at Wrangle Island on July 3rd. After the July 4th activities on Wrangle, the fleet splits up and skippers, with their first mates, will spend the rest of the summer cruising Alaska and B.C.
POYC will host our annual predicted log rally, THE FALL ROUND-UP, on October 4th.
If you’re game for some competition and general fun with a great group of people, why don’t you give Predicted Log Racing a try? Call either Jim Anderson or myself and we will show you the ropes.
