The Need for Speed

There's a break in the racing course action today- time to see how fast we can get these Moths going. We have the Velocitek Speed Challenge and the North Sails Dash-4-Cash.

The Speed Challenge will take place between 12:00 – 15:00. During those three hours, Moth sailors will have the chance to see just how fast they can push their boat. With the wind conditions we’ve been having on The Gorge, the speeds could be pretty ridiculous.

Following the speed challenge, there will be the North Sails Dash-4-Cash- a slalom knock out ever similar to border course. It’s the first time we at PUMA have seen this event take place, so we'll report back once it all unfolds.

We had a great dinner with some of the Moth sailors last night and they’re all looking forward to these two events. There will definitely be some "friendly" competition out on the water today.
