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

blank

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 …

Cuttyhunk!

Another great Cuttyhunk event.  Perfect reaching conditions for us and it showed.  Had a good start while exiting the harbor and the A0 was working for us until things got funky by Fort Wetherill.  We found a great current outflow (please all: remember what that looks like!) and in the light air it really kept …

EGYC

Once again we won the weekend!  hahaha  The actual race, not so much, with a 9/14.  BUT, I think we were literally just a minute or two out of THIRD — we saw Dark Star finish right in front of us and they were 4th.  We had a pretty tight wrap going on the downwind …

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.  …

NYYC Done; Around Aquidneck Up Next

blank

A quick update here as we have done a few more races since my last update.  Spirit continues to show excellent upwind performance as I mentioned in my last update.  This was particularly tested last weekend during the three-day NYYC Annual in winds ranging from about 12-25.  The helm is far better balanced and with …

First couple of races . . .

blank

So we’ve had a couple of races now under our belt and I think I can report that our speed and point appear good.  In the LLS regatta we saw good upwind performance, and had an ability to hang with our closest competitors (Hawk, Samba and Zephyros) and I think actually gain some ground uphill.  …

Correction! The CYC BBQ is June 11th!

Sorry about that but I had the wrong date for the BBQ at CYC.  It is June 11th and not June 4th.  Thanks Bill for the catch!

And we’re back. ; )

blank

Good sail Sunday/yesterday.  The mast stayed up (LOL) and boat showed (at least numerically) good speed and point.  Moreover, the rig is at a “reasonable” base setting, both in terms of forestay length and shroud tension, so I think we can now use JYC and Leukemia Cup to get a sense of our relative performance …
