Bye 2021, Hello 2022
Your friends at CGRA would like to thank all those who participated in our 2021 events.
Thanks for making the challenges of hosting regattas and clinics doable despite a pandemic.
You make our efforts worthwhile. We managed to have a fabulous season hosting sailors
from all over the country. We experienced a record turnout for the Wind Regatta,
the Columbia Gorge One Design (CGOD),
our signature regatta
was well attended, and the Skamania Coves Invitational met with rave reviews,
a new venue that we will repeat in 2022.
The RS Aeros are coming . . . for real this time
After a year postponement CGRA is looking forward to hosting the RS Aeros for their
World championships. Welcome RS Aero sailors!
Support world-class sailing in the Gorge
It takes a lot of work and a lot of money to continue to bring world-class sailing
opportunities to the Gorge. Without the membership base of a traditional yacht
club, we're dependent on the support of our friends to help cover the costs of
boats, shore facilities, site improvements, coaching, instruction, and race
management. Donations and sponsorships account for nearly a third of our budget;
without them, we could not exist.
If you're passionate about sailing and
like what we're doing, please consider including CGRA in your charitable
contributions this year. CGRA is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, and all
contributions are fully tax deductible. To make a contribution or learn more,

Sailing the Gorge: Too much fun?
“The
best place in the world to sail!” That’s what multi-class dinghy champ
Jay Renehan had to say about Cascade Locks, Oregon, home of the Columbia
Gorge Racing Association after the final race of the 2013 Tasar World
Championships. “I could sail like that all day, every day. It was too much fun!”
What’s So Great About Sailing the Gorge?
"It is really one of the legendary venues of the world." Jonathan McKee
explains what he means in this interview.
What do you think?
We’re reaching
out to sailors around the world to help support our efforts to bring world-class
sailing events to the Gorge. But first we want to hear from you. How was your
experience sailing in the Gorge? What can we do to make future
visits more enjoyable for you and your family? What CGRA programs and/or events
are most important to you?
