Twenty-three teams took to the waters of West Sound March 24 and 25, competing in the Annual Islands Cup Regatta hosted this year by Sail Orcas and the Orcas Island Yacht Club.

Spring arrived on Friday and stayed the whole weekend with temperatures reaching the mid-50s in the afternoons, putting smiles on the faces of the 120 competitors.

Moderate northeast winds made for great sailing and the hard working race committee was able to run 20 races over the weekend.

North Kitsap looked very strong taking both 1st and 2nd place overall and Port Townsend grabbed 3rd place.

Orcas was able to take 4th place in a very competitive fleet.
