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 …

Goodbye 2020, hello 2021

It has been quite a while since my last post!  There’s a bit to report but thankfully nothing too major.  Spirit came out of the water in early October (nearly three months ago?!?!?!?!) at Wickford Safe Harbor Marina.  This was done to facilitate easy transfer to Waterline Systems in Quonset for some bottom work.  Specifically, …

August??? Already???

Mid season update here.  We’ve had a nice run of races recently.  JYC Tuesdays, (when they aren’t canceled!), have been a blast and we are finding ourselves in the top half of the mix, with solid speed and point and great teamwork to get the boat on the startline in excellent tactical position.  I also …

It’s a blur

Honestly, things are a bit of a blur right now.  Reschedules, cancels, deconflicting future events and crew — it is all whizzing by!  Quick note here to report that I have updated Cuttyhunk and used the same crew as the original event.  If the new date doesn’t work for you please let me know.  July …

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 …

Initial JYC Thoughts and Other Happenings

Our first JYC race is in the books.  Mid-fleet basically (5/9).  Light breeze meant a bigger spread in finish times as the wind was spotty and variable across the course and the wind completely shutdown just as we were finishing.  Despite a front row start heading in the apparent correct direction at the favored pin …
