This race takes sailors 2,070 miles from San Francisco to Kane’ohe, Hawaii. After a challenging reach down the California coast to find the best weather, our participants will turn toward Hawaii, for day after day of incredible downwind sailing, culminating in the thrilling tradewinds, with steady, firm breezes driving them toward the finish and a well-deserved drink at Kane’ohe Yacht Club.

The first of Seattle Yacht Club’s Tri-Island Series, Smith Island offers a long course to test sailors’ stamina and strategic knowledge of Puget Sound.
