Once again the Columbia River Gorge Racing Association host its WIND Youth Regatta and clinics. By the way folks, this is the incubator of the fast oncoming generation of sailors. Andrew Nelson shared this brief video on Facebook today, as the wind at WIND came on as an unusual but very powerful easterly. Even folks who aren’t “on” Facebook deserve to see it. Great sailing!
