Below is the approximate location of our race marks, as measured with a GPS. They are given in degrees and minutes. These are not official and we make no guarantee that they are totally accurate. Use them at your own risk.
Sean Trew gave us the coordinates for the marks in place before September 2001.
John DeMeyer gave us the coordinates for the new marks, those used for the short courses and installed in the fall of 2001. The Eld Inlet Mouth buoy, short course for the Squaxin Island Race, and the Herron Island buoy, short course for races using Herron Island as a mark, were reset November 1 2003 by Rod Tharp and Bill Brosius and those coordinates come from them.
We thank them all.
