Hey all, Quick post here to say that with Spirit now back at the NAVSTA (along with Hitu!) things are going to start happening quickly. We will be doing a sail this Sunday, May 4th. We’ll be looking over the rig tune and shake out some of the sails. Timing details TBD but likely just …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Just a little test of new photo capability! Plus it's Spirit!
Thanks Bill. Good times despite a slow start. Vento was missed! Odyssey retired.
