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 …
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 …

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. …
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 …

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, …

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 …

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
We’ve had quite the run the last couple of weeks. After Ida we had the Prince Henry race — the navigator’s race for the Twenty Hundred Club Saturday before last. Very ably directed by birthday boy Marky B we racked up 36nm of distance in a mostly light air event. We managed to get all …

Ida
After a couple of missed years we finally brought the pieces together for an amazing race. Conditions were pleasant, with moderate breeze out of the SE most of the entire race. The angle and pressure helped us get the most from Spirit as we were the smallest/lightest boat of the fleet. : ) We also …

J/Fest — A time to learn
A good regatta in terms of learning. Carter really brought a focus on the details. Breeze for Day One added some excitement and once we got into a groove we were closer in the hunt on Day Two. Racing was perhaps a bit frustrating given the format and inherent PHRF shortcomings between boats, somewhat magnified …
