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 …

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 …

Racing Underway

So the season is underway.  Our first event, the inaugural Bridge Fiasco, was a bit of fun and we had some really good speed and crew work, but unfortunately the skipper selected the wrong order of bridges to pass!  DOH!  Regardless, it was a great day and I think the first “real” race of the …

Spring . . . Getting There.

So over the last few days we’ve had a little more clarity regarding the schedule over the next month.  Sorry for the spam regarding a practice sail tomorrow — that was the original plan of course.  Now that JYC has cancelled the Spring series, we can move pre-events to align with the Summer series.  Accordingly, …

Spring . . . Sort of.

Hey all, quick update here.  Obviously you know from the virtual crew meeting there’s a lot of uncertainty at the moment regarding sailing and racing.  You likely know Navy has closed the marina (to anything other than checking on your boat to make sure it hasn’t sunk) until June 1st.  For sure May is pretty …

Pre-Season Update

Hey all, Just wanted to update you on our pre-season activities.  Spirit is in the repair shed right now!  Of course, this is later than hoped, but Jorge doesn’t view this as a big job and it seems likely that she’ll be complete next week.  He’s also going to reinstall the jib tracks (faster than …
