News
What a great race we had in 2023. Great winds for a really fast sail both days and it didn't rain much if at all. The high wind gusts caught some boats by surprise on Saturday but nothing that money can't fix. Some boats had a tough delivery if they were out after dark on Friday but for the most part the deliveries were reasonable. We really loved having you and your crews join us for the RTC 2023 and hope to have you back again in 2024.

RTC 2024
The Orcas Island Yacht Club and the Friday Harbor Sailing Club invite you to participate in the 37th annual "ROUND THE COUNTY" (RTC) sailboat race. This event will be held November 9th and 10th, 2024 in the gorgeous and challenging waters of San Juan County Washington. The race is approximately 76 miles with an overnight stop in Roche Harbor, San Juan Island. Due to the great venue, the better winds of November, and the overnight stop in Roche Harbor, the race has become one of the more popular in the Pacific Northwest.
Strum’s Fleet
With over 129 boats registered, as of Oct01/24 (with Strum having the 6th fastest rating), RTC is the second largest sailing event in the PNW (2024 Swiftsure was 132 boats). Most of the fleet will be racing PHRF-NW (Strum rates -77 w/new main sail), but we will be racing in the 13 boat (as of Oct01) ORC-A fleet with the big boys. Strum raced RTC in 2007, 2014, 2015, 2022 & 2023, so we are in familiar waters. This will be Strum's last race of the 2024 season.
Skipper Comments
All crew are expected to be available for practice sails, prep and Fri/Mon deliveries. Strum crew to be on board 4pm Friday in Anacortes to help rig up, with mandatory 6pm cocktails Fri (on Strum) & Sat (at skippers hotel room), before 8pm crew dinner reservations Fri (Anthony’s) & Sat (McMillian’s). Mrs Strum will be our SUV shore support, so we have the ability to race without cushions, coolers, & extra sails/weight not needed, if we all pull together. She can also carpool crew to/from Vancouver for those that cannot help deliver Strum.

GREAT SAILING!!! Good starts, great weather, cooperative currents and enough wind for 67 boats to finish the long course both days. Certainly better wind than the forecast suggested. Most were able to finish in sunshine. It was a super great weekend on the water! Thanks for coming and we hope to see you again in 2023.
