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”

2026 Schedule Posted

March 13th, 1 pm Pine Street Eatery 136 Pine St, Nashua, NH 03060

Last scheduled race of the season! Blue skies, temps in the low 60’s and foliage at near peak! The only thing missing was a steady, strong wind. Admittedly there were a few “drift-fests” but generally there was enough breeze to keep the boats moving, just no gunnels being awash. Joining the fleet, but generally keepingContinue reading “EC-12 10-18-2025”

With some of the worst winds of the season, 5 V36s took to the pond for a shocking 12 races. Wind varied from nothing to light gusts (maybe 5 mph), sending the wins all over. Rick G, Rick L., Herb, and Chris and Alian all had at least one win! After 11 races, Alain hadContinue reading “V36 10/11/2025”
