2005 NWICSA Sloop Championships

Portland State University @ at Vancouver Lake, WA

October 1-2, 2005

This year's northwest sloop champs were hosted in the Vancouver Lake Sailing Club Lightning fleet in Vancouver, WA. A total of ten races in two full rotations were completed in a lake breeze that, over the course of the day, blew from all 360 directions, starting from the south at 11:00 am and clocking to the right until it blew from the south once again at around 6:00 pm. The regatta also experienced breeze at nearly every speed from 3 to 15 knots. Fortunately, the race committee was able to, for the most part, finish each race before the next dramatic shift in speed and direction. The changing conditions and extremely shallows waters of Vancouver Lake made for a trying and competitive regatta, but the teams did a good job of keeping their boards out of the mud and their boats upright in the water to make for a good trial run in the Lightnings before nationals.
