The Newport to Ensenada International Yacht Race is off and running, and we’re excited to report that Bill Gibbs and his crew aboard WAHOO had a strong start! They’re currently battling it out head-to-head with another ORCA-A class catamaran, VÁMONOS. It’s shaping up to be a tense and thrilling race!
Everyone at PBYC is sending their best wishes for a safe passage and a successful race — and of course, we’re cheering a little extra loud for our own WAHOO crew.
You can follow their progress in real time at: Race Tracker
