Port Ludlow is the home port for Etchells fleet 26, one of the loveliest groups of small sailing vessels you'll ever see.

Port Ludlow waterfront and waterview homes on the north side of the bay have ringside seats to watch these beautiful white birds as they come flying out of Port Ludlow Bay for their Thursday races.

etchells.org: Official site for Etchells, gives history, racing rules, lists of fleets.

The photos on the bottom of this page are images of the Port Ludlow Etchell fleet sailing out of the mouth of Port Ludlow Bay into Admiralty Inlet, and of some of the Port Ludlow homes which have great views of the Etchell races.

All Port Ludlow homeowners can enjoy the same views during low tides while walking the beach below the bluff in front of the waterfront homes.

The Port Ludlow homes with the best views of the Etchell races are on the waterfront along the north side of the mouth of Port Ludlow Bay. They also have great views of the shipping lanes, Admiralty Inlet, the south part of Whidbey Island, the tip of the Kitsap Peninsula, and the approach to Hood Canal. The large group of photos that are further down this page are of the Port Ludlow North Bay waterfront, starting just north of the Admiralty Condominiums and moving north towards Oak Bay.

If you'd like to see a larger copy of any of the small thumbnail-sized images with thin blue borders, roll your mouse over the photo you're interested in and an enlargement will appear in an otherwise blank area next to the thumbnail photos. The enlargement may take a minute to appear on slower internet connections. Clicking isn't necessary, it simply reloads the page. If you have disabled Javascript, the enlargements will not appear.
