NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA, September 19, 2018, Newport Harbor Yacht Club (NHYC) is pleased to announce the opening of entries for its 20th biennial Newport Beach, California to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico International Yacht Race starting March 15, 2019.
The 800 mile yacht race begins off the picturesque seaside city of Newport Beach, sending the boats racing down the Baja Peninsula to the spectacular finish off of Cabo San Lucas. The race is open to fully crewed monohull boats of 38′ or larger, and multihull boats of 45’ or larger, specifics which are covered in the Notice of Race. Early entry fees of $900.00 are available until October 31, 2018.
Originally run in 1971, the NHYC “Cabo Race” has provided offshore sailors a challenging downwind race to warmer waters for nearly 5 decades. Held during the same odd years as the TransPac Race from Los Angeles to Honolulu, the Cabo Race attracts many of the same boats looking to maximize quality downwind racing on the West Coast. The members of NHYC are looking forward to seeing your entry soon.
Newport Harbor Yacht Club is situated on the Balboa Peninsula in Balboa, California. Located between Los Angeles and San Diego, Newport Beach offers one of the largest recreational boat harbors in the world; often referred to as the “Riviera of the West”, over 9000 boats make Newport Beach their port of call.
