An interesting weather day. Forecast said mid 40’s and winds 15 with gusts to 30. Well…it was cold but the wind wasn’t that strong. What it was was continuously shifting and VERY spotty. Boats no more than a few feet apart were regularly in different weather… one with sails full and heeled over and theContinue reading “Star 45 10/17/26”

It was a very shifty, but beautiful day today. The wind was unable to make its mind up as to how strong to blow or from what direction. Greg drove up from RI to sail today and took the top spot, with Cliff hot on his heels just a point back. Rick G. was sailingContinue reading “VM 10/10/2026”

It was 12 races taking all afternoon due to the light swirly winds with 3 or 4 tacks sometimes in a few feet without turning the boat. when the wind did show up the races were fun and quick. Rick Laird brought his new boat and was sailing like a crazy guy looking for aContinue reading “V36 10/3/2026”

Mother Nature was kind today. There was a breeze albeit inconsistent with at least a few boats moving at any given time. Surprisingly there were not many Nashua squirlies noticed.

Glen Chalder, AMYA District 1 director, attended driving up from Connecticut for the day and garnering a strong 2nd place showing behind Cliff’s win. The remaining places are recordedContinue reading “EC-12 8/29/26”

V36 Postponed Until 9/5 Due To Possible Rain In The Afternoon

One word for today…HOT! Well two words the other being…HUMID! Despite that it was a pretty good day for sailing. Breeze could have been stronger but it was adequate. Cliff showed everyone how it’s done by sweeping all the firsts with several less than stellar starts ( at least two from back of the packContinue reading “VM 8/8/26”

Nice day, mostly sunny but we could have used a bit more breeze most of the day. We were pleasantly surprised by the presence of Alain, his first attendance since April.. Cliff was trying out Herb’s Sharpie. Chris had Jim Linville’s former boat out for its second regatta but unfortunately during the second race aContinue reading “V-36 8/1/26”
