The 45th annual Shaw Island Classic Sailboat Race is set for Saturday, Aug. 1. All eligible boats and crews are invited to participate. The race starts from Friday Harbor and permits circumnavigating Shaw Island in either direction, and back to Friday Harbor for a lasagna dinner and awards presentation.
The event is sponsored by the San Juan Island Yacht Club.
The race is open to multihulls, unballasted centerboards, registered PHRF boats and cruising sailboats of all sizes and rigs. Classes will be provided for multihulls, centerboards, PHRF and cruising classes.
