Race Standings, Raid 05
September 14, 2005: Results of the 2005 Shipyard Raid
The 2005 Shipyard Raid ended in Port Townsend after a week of hard racing in challenging conditions by a fleet of nine small boats in 11 legs over a 89 mile course. Results were surprisingly close for a very disparate fleet; the 20' open sailing/rowing cruiser Ratty won first overall with a string of middle of the pack finishes capped by first to finish on the longest and most trying leg across the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Second place goes to Merry Sea, a radically light 24' plywood Wherry from Wayland Marine. Third place (with a solid first in Team Spirit) goes to Bear, the 26' Wooden Boat Foundation longboat crewed by Sea Scouts and leaders from Port Townsend. And in fourth place was the smallest boat, a 15' Swampscott Dory sailed and rowed by lone crewman Gary Powell.
