This appears to be in Washington State, USA, to save anyone else who's
never heard of it.

Though I'm curious as to why one of the names on the web site has an
Iowa address. Does he really go 1500 miles to the sea, when Lake
Michigan is only 300 miles away?

I don't believe there is any sailboat racing on Lake Michigan in the winter?
:) Whereas, here in Washington State, all sal****er YC have races in the
winter.

Interesting, don't those things always beat to weather because the apparent
wind is forward all the time?

Yes,
In fact the hard trick is going to "leeward" fast.
Mind bender:
To slow down, you turn down wind and let the boat slow to wind speed.
