Quick thanks here for a terrific start to the season. Our first JYC of 2024 was a really pleasant and exciting race. We sailed a clean circuit and handled tacks, gybes, sets and douses as it if were the end of the season! We had a clean start and just overall had some great conversation …

Hey all, as usual I was really prolific with my updates here! : / Anyway, another terrific year! Snatched a class win for JYC Spring, a really respectable 2nd in the blustery (and 190nm long!) Ida Lewis Distance Race, a second to Cutty and a second overall for Block. Also a third for IYAC and …

Hey all, we had a great motor and sail down to the Navy base today from Barrington. Lots of sun and when the sea breeze came in . . . it came in with a vengeance, bringing us winds approaching 20 kts, on the nose of course! But for the first test of the …

Hi all! What else to do on the coldest day of the year so far but think about sailing? : ) In a couple of months boats will will be splashing and it is time to look forward — but first, a quick look back. We were fortunate to have a safe and successful season …

Things have started with a bang . . . and a whimper! The whimper was my scheduling which has created (and is creating!) glitches in the overall schedule. Missing the start of the season, Bridge Fiasco, NYYC and Around Aquidneck is a huge, huge bummer for me and I know for you too. Hopefully we …

What. A. Season. Amazing racing this year. Found new gears. Scored some bullets. Made a few more memories. Kept all of our fingers. Watched a few sunsets with good friends. I’m sorry, but I don’t know what else there could be. <3. As we dig into the season that’s really about being thankful and appreciating …

It is hard to believe we are deep into September as I write this. There are just a handful of races left — in fact, likely just one last JYC (developing conflicts on September 26th and October 3rd, whaaa) and the Fall Race Around Prudence. We’ve had an amazing run. Sail For Hope was a …

We continue to enjoy a really good, consistent season! I wish I could say the same for the weather! hahaha. Anyway, since my last update we’ve had a few more JYC summer series races, which were all pretty good and we continue to hone our speed and performance. We did the Twenty Hundred Club’s Around …

Hey all! We’ve had a nice start to the racing season. We picked up right where we left off last year in terms of speed and point, continuing a trend that has us generally faster and higher than our peer competitors. This is really a victory across the team as everyone has a hand in …

A little belated here but a quick thanks for a fun race Tuesday night! It couldn’t decide whether it wanted to be 25 knots of breeze or 8, settled on 12 and was terrific pressure all race. Because of a very consistent forecast of winds in the mid-twenties, and our first night of racing I …
