SUMMARY:R2AK Race To Alaska
DESCRIPTION:RACE TO ALASKA EXPLAINED\nStage 1 Race start: Sunday\, June 9\, 2024\, 5:00 AM\, Port Townsend\, Washington\nStage 2 Race start: Wednesday\, June 12\, 2024\, High Noon\, Victoria\, BC\nApplication Open: Wednesday\, November 15\, 2023 at noon\nApplication deadline: Tax Day baby! April 15 \n  \nThe inside passage to Alaska has been paddled by native canoes since time immemorial\, sailing craft for centuries\, and after someone found gold in the Klondike the route was jammed with steamboats full of prospectors elbowing each other out of the way for the promise of fortune. \nIt’s in the spirit of tradition\, exploration\, and self-reliance that Race to Alaska was born. R2AK is the first of its kind and North America’s longest human and wind powered race\, and currently the largest cash prize for a race of its kind. \nThis isn’t for everyone\nIt’s like the Iditarod\, on a boat\, with a chance of drowning\, being run down by a freighter\, or eaten by a grizzly bear. There are squalls\, killer whales\, tidal currents that run upwards of 20 miles an hour\, and some of the most beautiful scenery on earth. \nThe hardest kind of simplicity\nYou\, a boat\, a starting gun. $10\,000 if you finish first\, a set of steak knives if you’re second. Cathartic elation if you can simply complete the course. R2AK is a self-supported race with no supply drops and no safety net. Any boat without an engine can enter. \n \nContact: info@r2ak.com

SUMMARY:Texas 200 Race
DESCRIPTION:The 17 th Annual Texas 200 will be held from June 10-14\, 2024. After a number of years doing a 6-day event\, this year we’re going to do this thing in 5 days. Our theme this year is “Back to Basics”. Nothing fancy. No gimmicks. No alternative routes. No new camps. Just five solid days of sailing with new friends and old\, to a set of tried and true camps that have all been used on this event several times. \n The Texas 200 is a “Raid”-type event; that is\, it involves a scheduled gathering of small boats traveling more or less in company from Point A to Point B over a period of several days\, camping along the way.  The Texas 200 goes through the Laguna Madre and the bays of South Texas for five to six days and about 200 miles. Shallow draft boats will have options in terms of routes through the bays\, while deeper draft vessels will spend more time in the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW).  For any who may be unfamiliar with the ICW\, it follows the Atlantic and Gulf coasts from New Jersey to the southern tip of Texas\, providing a more or less protected waterway of canals and bays for commercial barge traffic\, an alternative to open ocean shipping. \nThe Texas 200 was established by Chuck Leinweber\, founder of the Duckworks website https://www.duckworks.com/.  Chuck competed in the Everglades Challenge (EC)  several years ago\, and wanted to do more of that kind of thing.  The Everglades\, however\, are a long trip from his home in Texas.  Chuck thought he could organize a modified version of the EC\, right on the Texas gulf coast. \n  Kim Apel “A Californian Does the Texas 200”  \n What the Texas 200 is:\n• A “rolling messabout” where people bring boats of all shapes and sizes and sail them on the south Texas coast.\n• A moving\, exhausting\, endurance test of boat\, captain\, and crew.\n• A chance to see areas of America rarely visited by man.\n• An exercise in planning\, preparation\, and problem solving.\n• A chance to make new friends and legends of the small boat world\nAndy Linn “Texas 200: Embrace the Suck” \nThe 2024 Texas 200 will be held the second full week of June 2024\, which means a start date of Monday\, June 10th.   Additional information including the start point\, finish point and all camps\, will be published on our website on or about January 1\, 2024.
