Early Season Updates
Got a lot of maintenance done on the weekend so while I might’ve preferred to sail, knocking out the chores was good thing. Fresh engine oil, filter, fresh sail drive oil, fresh impeller, forestay adjustment …
Apparently survived 2023. Lets see what 2024’s got.
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!) …
2023 season is underway
Hey all, we had a great motor and sail down to the Navy base today from Barrington. Lots of sun and when the sea breeze came in . . . it came in with a …
2021 Was An Amazing Season!
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 …
Nearing the End
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 …
Mid-Season Update
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 …
Early Season Update
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 …
JYC Spring #1
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 …
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 …
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. …

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, …

Last Couple of Months! : (
The website is now fully updated with all remaining races, any cancels I know about already, and crewing plans to year-end. Please take a look through and make sure I haven’t messed up something with your availability. We’ve had a great run of recent races; JYC Summer is very close to a podium finish and …

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 …

Around Aquidneck and other happenings
So the season is spooling up fast. After a somewhat frustrating Bridge Fiasco, I’m really happy we bounced back with a solid AAR. The reach across the sound and run up the Sakonnet were the stuff of dreams — flat and breezy. As a team we had really great “control” over the boat, managing the …

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, …
