It’s big. It’s tough. It’s unique. It’s fishy (at least for one night). The Van Isle 360 is such a great race,it requires it’s own Bruce Hedrick Powerpoint weather presentation. If you click on the following link you should be able to open or download the presentation.

If you’re racing, have fun and be safe. It’s truly the race of a lifetime. If you want to read an early preview to the race, click here. If you want to hear a student radio piece on someone doing the race on Cheekee Monkee (and listen to editor Kurt talk about the race) click here.
Bruce has raced and cruised the Pacific Northwest his entire life. He earned a Bachelor’s of Science from the University of Washington in Biological Oceanography and learned meteorology “to keep from getting kicked around on the race course.” Bruce spent nearly two decades as Associate Publisher for Northwest Yachting Magazine, retiring in mid-2015, and was the chairman of the board of trustees for the Northwest Marine Trade Association in 2014.
