Most participants try to reach Ensenada before Saturday night to celebrate with friends. The award presentations take place the next day.
The internationally renowned Newport to Ensenada Yacht Race was created by the Newport Ocean Sailing Association. The original members of the NOSA came together in 1948 to start a “just-for-fun" race for the sailors that just came back from World War II.
The very first race received 117 entries but only 65 boats finished. Little did they know that it would become a growing classic tradition as it is still today.
The Newport to Ensenada International Yacht Race includes an assortment of boats ranging from top ultra-light to maxi-yachts to non-spinnaker classes.
