The Newport Ocean Sailing Association (NOSA) was founded in 1947 to organize a boat race from Newport Beach, California to
Ensenada, Mexico. The first 125-nautical mile race took place on April 23, 1948 and was called The Governor's Cup. The race
was renamed the Newport to Ensenada International Yacht Race and grew to include 20 boat classes. In 1983, the race set the
record as the world's largest international yacht race, with a record 675 boats entering the competition. NOSA also organizes
several other yacht races in Southern California, and supports many youth sailing programs and organizations in the area.
