Newport to Ensenada International Yacht Race
The Newport to Ensenada International Yacht Race was created by NOSA (Newport Ocean Sailing Association) in 1947 as a small for-fun race for sailors after WWII. The first Race attracted 117 boats whereas, today, each year’s Race typically attracts over 500 boats and crews. With a reputation for being the “world’s largest international yacht race,” participants continue to participate in friendly competition with an emphasis on comradeship. There are more than 20 classes that participate and awards include the First-to-Finish Honors, President of the United States Trophy, and the President of Mexico Trophy amongst others.
This year’s Race will occur from April 24-26, 2009, with a new starting area off the Balboa Pier. An expanded race gear clothing line will be provided by Pirates Lair, while a $5,000 Corum watch will be awarded to the overall corrected PHRF winner.
