This is the fifth year of a two-day race/adventure around Harstine Island starting and finishing at Boston Harbor with an overnight stay at Jarrell’s Cove State Park.  Open to boats 20 feet or less with no fixed keel with only wind or human power (penalty for using a motor). There is limited space to shuttle camp gear to and from Jarrell’s Cove. No handicaps, the vessel with the least time for both days is the winner.

The initial cost for the captain and vessel includes a hamburger dinner, breakfast snacks, T-shirt, gorgeous scenery, and a chance to sleep on your boat or in your tent on the ground.  An additional fee for the crew includes meals and camping, with the option of purchasing a Harstine GT Tee designed by one of our local dinghy sailors. 15 boat limit.
