Racers make a big splash as they hit the water after rolling down the boat ramp at Northwest Maritime on Saturday. The 14 entrants in the Kinetic Skulpture race had to prove their floatability by paddling across the bay to the Port Townsend city dock, about a quarter-mile, and back to the ramp before they could participate in Sunday’s event.
