In light of recent events in parts of Mexico and the cancellation of the San Diego to Puerto Vallarta race, we have received several inquiries regarding the status of the Newport to Ensenada International Yacht Race scheduled for April 24-26.

We want to state clearly: The Newport to Ensenada Race has not been canceled.

NOSA leadership is actively monitoring the situation in Ensenada through reliable local contacts and official channels. Based on current, verified information, there have been no reported incidents in Ensenada affecting the race venue, harbor, or downtown areas.

Maritime and tourism operations in the region continue as normal. Cruise ships are actively arriving at the Port of Ensenada, docking at Cruiseport Village, and passengers are disembarking and visiting downtown businesses without interruption. Major cruise lines, including Carnival Cruise Line, continue to operate their regularly scheduled routes between the Long Beach/Los Angeles area and Ensenada.

We remain in close communication with our local partners and authorities and will provide timely updates should conditions change. At this time, preparations for the race and associated events are proceeding as planned.

The safety of our racers, volunteers, sponsors, and guests remains our highest priority. We are committed to transparent communication and responsible decision-making based on facts, not rumors.

We appreciate the support of our sailing community and encourage participants to rely on official NOSA communications for accurate information.
