Vashon Island / Point Robinson (Second Race of the Tri-Island / Tri-Point Series)

The Vashon Island course is one of the most popular races with several distinct racing phases. Get ahead and go for a breakaway, or, if not so fortunate, hope to bring the wind to your competitors waiting at the next corner. New this year, the Point Robinson course lets you go a little farther than last year and face your decisions from a slightly different angle. These tactical courses will take you south with scenic views of Elliott Bay and Mt. Rainier.
