RS Aero US National Championships - August 13-14
Short courses with plenty of downwind angles to make the most of the fantastic wind and waves at the Gorge!
Already in 2015, for the first North American Championships, there were 21 sailors from 8 USA States - plus the UK!

The Venue
One of America's most inspiring Championship venues with the afternoon thermal breeze piping up against the Columbia River's current to provide some fantastic long downwind rides through breathtaking mountain scenery!
The Gorge is a unique sailing venue creating a wind-tunnel between the beautiful shear cliffs and mountains that rise from the waters edge to nearly one mile vertically in places. In summer westerlies are the prevailing wind direction, dying down in the evening. This is due to the hot air rising in the desert out east sucking relatively cool marine air in through the gorge. The wind will blow the hardest from about 1000 hrs. until 1900 hrs. As a general rule, the narrower the gorge, the higher the wind velocity and therefore the larger the chop.
The current at Cascade Locks generally runs at 1 to 2 knots. The deepest channel on the river is generally where the extreme conditions can occur. All that is required for relatively easier going is to move to the edge of the channel/river. Depths can vary from 20 feet to more than 170 feet in places.
Having hosted World Championships for the International Moth and Tasar classes in recent years The Gorge and its challenges are recognised Worldwide as a World Class Sailing venue.
