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, …

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: JYC

We are getting into a nice groove with the start of the summer series.  New found windward AND leeward speed is helping us get in front (and gain clear air) and then hold it in the downwind.  “White Lightning” is a pleasure to sail and is delivering in both lighter air and in a breeze.  …
