 The Captain Raynaud
International Schooner Race (CRISR) is a week long race
that was first held in 1998 by it's
founder the Schooner Martha
Foundation. Captain Adrian Raynaud loved the sea and all its trades. His story is virtually the story of seafaring. It stretches from his youth as an apprentice sail maker in San Francisco and his first voyage around Cape Horn in 1909, to his work with youth sail training and the restoration of the 1913 B.B. Crowninshield schooner Adventuress. The Captain Raynaud International Schooner Race is a celebration of the camaraderie and passion of those of us who maintain and enjoy traditional sailing craft. The emphasis of this event is the celebration and challenge of sailing these vessels under a variety of circumstances. We encourage all experience levels of sailors to attend. Classic boats are invited to cruise with the racers. A good time will be had by all! There is a no entry fee for the race but donations are gladly accepted to help cover the cost of pennants, awards, salmon BBQ and posters. In addition to an Overall CRISR winner, awards are given to the first three finishers in each division. If you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to contact Robert D'Arcy (206) 310-8573 or email schoonermartha@yahoo.com
