V36 5/30 Cancelled Due To Rain and high winds. Next week VM.

What a day for sailing! Fairly constant winds in the 7-10 range coming from the ENE- right across the pond. Probably the best conditions in a long while. On the water, eight boats launched (!) for 12 races with only Dave’s boat succumbing to a broken sheet under the deck during race four which DaveContinue reading “EC-12 5/23/26”

Well… the weather was nice. Winds a bit lower than forecast but acceptable. Unfortunately the gremlins were working overtime. Herb couldn’t get his boat’s electronics working until well after the first race was completed, Rick G burned out his sail servo before the first race, and Rick L experienced rudder linkage problems during the firstContinue reading “Star45 5/16/26”

Forecast getting worse and worse. 10AM to 8PM now. Maybe it’ll fill the pond some!

The title says it all. Next week VM’s.

The first EC-12 regatta of the season presented the four skippers with mostly light, patchy breezes with a lot of holes and windshifts, which made for an interesting afternoon. Actually there were only two races that had nice breeze from start to finish! Herb and Dave vied for first and Rick and Jerry vied forContinue reading “EC-12 4/25/26”

We are pleased to have hosted a US1M regatta at our pond. Conditions were the best yet this year with wind generally 7-8 MPH with occasional drops to nothing- generally just when the start clock was started ( I sometimes wonder if Mother Nature can hear the countdown start and adjust accordingly). On the water,Continue reading “US1M 4/18/26”

Again we were greeted with 10 to 15 knot winds but this time from the North. Adding to that, gusty and swirly conditions were evident causing some rather creative sailing. Position swaps were plentiful and final placement wasn’t assured until after crossing the finish line as there quite a few passes on the final upwindContinue reading “VM 4/11/26”

Not a very auspicious start to the season but we tried. Winds, as opposed to most of last year, were in the 10 to 15 knot range- which were a challenge all afternoon. Trouble started even before the first countdown as Rick G had to go home to get a different boat, delaying the startContinue reading “V36 4-4-2026”
