Eleven sailors from the Orcas High School sailing team travelled to Port Townsend this past weekend to participate in the Port Townsend Open Regatta.

They spent Friday afternoon on the water practicing team racing with the Port Townsend team, and then had some fun off the water sharing a lasagna dinner with Port Townsend sailors and playing some soccer together.

The setting on Saturday was spectacular as the sun was out over the city waterfront, and a light northerly breeze filled in on the bay with Mt. Baker, the North Cascades, Mt. Rainer and the Olympics all looking down on the fleet.

Twenty-seven teams took to the water and 12 races were completed over the course of the day. North Kitsap won the regatta with Port Townsend capturing second and Orcas taking third.

Next up for the team is the NWISA Team Race District Championships in Bellingham April 28 and 29.
