Largest single start event in the Pacific Northwest

Over 100 boats are anticipated for the 27th annual Martin Marine Round Bowen Race, making it the largest single start event in the Pacific Northwest. Beginning on June 13, the course takes the fleet around the 19.28 square mile Bowen Island in British Columbia, with a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction indicated by signals displayed at the start. All proceeds go towards the Bowen Island Yacht Club Learn2Sail program which teaches almost 100 local juniors every summer. Details.
