Updated Plan

Happy Mother’s Day everyone!  We’ve had an unusual start to spring for Spirit.  As they say in the military, “No plan survives first contact with the enemy”.  True for us for sure.  By now we should have had a couple of sails at least.  : (  However, we are on a good track.  We managed …

Grrr, missing Practice #2!

Well, sometimes things move at their own pace.  This is one of those times.  We actually got a ton of stuff done this weekend.  By Sunday the mast was fully assembled and ready to step.  Some additional work was done on the boat (cleaning, winch maintenance, other smaller tasks).  She’s in really good shape.  However, …

Going to miss Practice #1 slated for this Tuesday : (

Yup, we had a good run at it, but this Tuesday’s practice has everything ready but a boat!  Hahaha!  Spirit remains at Wickford.  They are taking great care of us and after retrieving Spirit from Waterline on Tuesday, she was ready for launch Thursday and launched on Friday.  Thanks to Deb for helping to burnish …

Approaching Launch for 2021

Hi everyone.  We are getting very close to launch and it now appears that this coming week will be busy.  Today Spirit remains at Waterline.  She is having some final touchup to her keel but not the full blown race bottom job that we were expecting.  This is a disappointment, but we’ll work around it …

May 29th Cancel

Guys, really sorry about having to cancel next Tuesday due to work-related travel.  I don’t think this is a surprise to anyone, but it was painful hitting the cancel button.  I’m quite confident it will be gorgeous (what are the odds of the cancels in a row — seems doubtful) . . .  Next race …

First Race Review

Hey guys, Just a quick summary of our first JYC.  We were assigned as the scratch boat in B Spinnaker, a very fortunate move as we usually end up the slow boat in A.  We had a decent start (JYC is dock-starting this week and next at a minimum) and by the time we got …
