Adventuress Cup 2021

First, all of us at Sound Experience cannot thank you enough for making the second annual Adventuress Cup – A Race for the Salish Sea an amazing success. Thank you for your enthusiastic participation. You helped to raise more than $92,000 to continue the work and mission of Adventuress to reach our region’s youth with powerful education programs.

We are thrilled at this time to announce the winners of this year’s event based on points accrued through dollars raised, on-the-water race results, participation in the Wind in Your Sails Challenges and social media/recruiting points. While not everyone could take home an award, we hope that everyone had fun (no matter how damp race day was)! Below are the winners by category, a race day recap and the pre-recorded livestream with 2021 program updates and stories from board members, crew and captains. Thank you again for your tireless support of Adventuress and her youth mission!

Race Day Recap

The Adventuress Cup Race was a magical day for Sound Experience. As the sun came up the morning of Saturday September 18th, donations had already begun to pour in for the race and continued late into the night for our teams.

Saturday's race saw the fleet parading out to the race course on Shilshole Bay led by Adventuress in sunshine. As often happens in the Pacific Northwest, this soon changed to showers and then to a steady rain followed by a downpour. The wind also provided plenty of challenges for the racers, at times gusting to 25 knots, at other times leaving the boats adrift with sails slack, and the skippers wishing for some wind. A big thank you to the Corinthian Yacht Club Race Committee for providing the excellent course, making sure everyone enjoyed the race and that all the racers got back to the marina to in time to enjoy the post-race Covid-responsible gathering. All were drenched and wet to the bone but smiling.
