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. …
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. …

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. ; )
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 …

Amazing weekend
I can’t believe how much we accomplished over the three days. We basically put the boat back together AND got her ready to race. Bottom, saildrive and zincs all sorted down below. Winches, lifelines running rigging topside, instruments (Zeus and Tacktick), some electrical and batteries on the inside. Even installed the new AIS VHF. And …

Spirit is at Caseys!
A huge thanks to Steve, Mark R and Mark B for enabling a smooth run from Jorge’s in Bristol down to Newport. The last 100 yards were the sketchiest — having to navigate the turn onto Waites Wharf off of Thames without clipping the building on Thames or O’Brien’s (probably really bad form, especially with …

Repair Update #3
Some good news! Almost all work is complete. The deck under the two starboard side stanchions has been repaired and the new stanchions installed. Jib tracks have been rebedded with an epoxy core to prevent water intrusion. And the keel has had the dings removed! She’s off to the paint booth tomorrow or Wednesday and …

Cancelled JYC Spring #2
You’ll note I just cancelled race #2. I plan on checking out Jorge’s progress this weekend, but for sure, even if he is done, we wouldn’t be ready for Tuesday. Don’t give up hope! I think Race #3 is a reasonable target for our first race! Thanks for your patience!

Repair Update #2
Good progress since the last time I wrote. The deck area around the two stanchions is completely repaired. The core under the support legs of each stanchion was replaced with Penske board (the two holes are the pieces used in the deck). The board, used as core between the two fiberglass layers, doesn’t absorb water …

Security at the NAVSTA Marina Docks

May 13, 2019
Just wanted to make you aware that Mike and Co at the marina are using bicycle locks to secure the gates to each dock. [Wish I had emojis available here . . .] This will likely only be a factor on Tuesday nights as the docks will be unlocked during business hours. I quote Mike’s …
