The Columbia Gorge forms a unique sailing venue creating a wind-tunnel between the beautiful mountains that rise from the waters edge to nearly one mile vertically high in places. The afternoon thermal breeze pipes up against the Columbia River's current to provide some fantastic long downwind rides through awesome scenery. The upwind current then provides a conveyor belt back to the windward mark - ready to enjoy the long downwinds again!

This is a popular favourite with the North American RS Aero Class who return annually to the World Class venue and for 2022 we are excited to return for their hosting of our 4th World Championship, after it was not possible in 2020.
