Mid season update here. We’ve had a nice run of races recently. JYC Tuesdays, (when they aren’t canceled!), have been a blast and we are finding ourselves in the top half of the mix, with solid speed and point and great teamwork to get the boat on the startline in excellent tactical position. I also …

It’s a blur
Honestly, things are a bit of a blur right now. Reschedules, cancels, deconflicting future events and crew — it is all whizzing by! Quick note here to report that I have updated Cuttyhunk and used the same crew as the original event. If the new date doesn’t work for you please let me know. July …

Season Champions
Looking at last year’s results we knew we had a pretty strong season, but I’m not sure we appreciated just how good it was. With no Spring Dinner for the Twenty Hundred Club this year we decided instead to distribute trophies at a board meeting last night. Of course, we knew about Prince Henry, which …

Initial JYC Thoughts and Other Happenings
Our first JYC race is in the books. Mid-fleet basically (5/9). Light breeze meant a bigger spread in finish times as the wind was spotty and variable across the course and the wind completely shutdown just as we were finishing. Despite a front row start heading in the apparent correct direction at the favored pin …

Around Aquidneck and other happenings
So the season is spooling up fast. After a somewhat frustrating Bridge Fiasco, I’m really happy we bounced back with a solid AAR. The reach across the sound and run up the Sakonnet were the stuff of dreams — flat and breezy. As a team we had really great “control” over the boat, managing the …

The End Is In Sight
Hard to believe that we are approaching the end. This coming Sunday is our final race, the last JYC of the fall series. We’ve been fairly consistent and I think we’ll land on about a 4th. Coincidentally, we also found a 4th in a super breezy Sail For Hope and a 4th in the Twenty …

Catching Up
We’ve had quite the run the last couple of weeks. After Ida we had the Prince Henry race — the navigator’s race for the Twenty Hundred Club Saturday before last. Very ably directed by birthday boy Marky B we racked up 36nm of distance in a mostly light air event. We managed to get all …

Ida
After a couple of missed years we finally brought the pieces together for an amazing race. Conditions were pleasant, with moderate breeze out of the SE most of the entire race. The angle and pressure helped us get the most from Spirit as we were the smallest/lightest boat of the fleet. : ) We also …

J/Fest — A time to learn
A good regatta in terms of learning. Carter really brought a focus on the details. Breeze for Day One added some excitement and once we got into a groove we were closer in the hunt on Day Two. Racing was perhaps a bit frustrating given the format and inherent PHRF shortcomings between boats, somewhat magnified …

Cuttyhunk!
Another great Cuttyhunk event. Perfect reaching conditions for us and it showed. Had a good start while exiting the harbor and the A0 was working for us until things got funky by Fort Wetherill. We found a great current outflow (please all: remember what that looks like!) and in the light air it really kept …
