Good luck to all in todays Newport to Ensenada Yacht Race! The largest yacht race in the world just started! The N2E is a 125-nautical-mile International Yacht Race that takes place each spring from the Newport Beach Pier to Ensenada, in Baja California, Mexico. In 2003, Doug Baker’s Magnitude 80, an Andrews 80 from Long Beach, set a race record for monohulls of 10 hours 37 minutes 50 seconds beating the previous record of 10:44:54 set by Roy E. Disney’s Pyewacket III, a Reichel/Pugh 77! The multihull record of 6:46:40 set by the late Steve Fossett’s 60-foot Stars and Stripes catamaran in 1998 remains intact as the only boat ever to finish before sundown.
