Over one hundred fifteen yachts are entered in the 2022 Swiftsure International Yacht Race that will start on Saturday, May 28th.

The fleet will use either PHRF or ORC rating system for one of the four courses ranging from 79 to 138 nm that start and finish in Victoria, BC. Dozens of J/Teams are participating in this famous offshore event in the Pacific Northwest. Below are the courses and the J/Teams sailing each race.

The Cape Flattery Race (PHRF handicapped boats) goes from the Clover Point start, leaves the mark at Neah Bay to port, and crosses the finish line across Victoria Harbour- 101.9 nautical miles.

Registered to sail the race so far include Scott Campbell's J/121 RIVA, Christina Wolfe's J/111 RAKU, a half dozen J/109s, a trio of J/120s, a duo of J/99s (Stephanie Arnold's DASH and Dave Miller's ONE LIFE), and half-dozen J/105s.
