Nothing short of massive congratulations are in order. Team Celerity has completed their 750-mile trek from Port Townsend, WA to Ketchikan, Alaska.

Not only that, but their gruelling journey and outstanding finish time of 6 days, 21 hours and 48 minutes earned them 2nd place overall and 1st place in the Monohull division!

And let’s not forget the coveted set of steak knives that come with a second place finish.
What an incredible feat for these Okanagan sailors! You’ve made KYC proud 👏👏👏

We’re incredibly proud to celebrate Team Celerity as they compete in the 2026 Race to Alaska! Did you know a group of KYC sailors is currently taking on this 750-mile race from Port Townsend, Washington to Ketchikan, Alaska, with no engines and no support? They’re navigating open water, tidal rapids, remote coastline, and wilderness conditions using only wind or human power.

This is the kind of challenge that creates unforgettable stories and experiences. With no motors allowed, teams must rely on wind and pedal power alone to make their way to Alaska, and in the video, you can see Team Celerity putting in the work. We can’t wait to follow their journey, cheer them on, and see what they get up to along the way.

👉 To follow Team Celerity’s progress and receive race updates, visit @racetoalaska and follow the link in their bio.
