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”

Well, it’s been a month since we last sailed due to lack of wind AND serious weeds floating on the pond! They’re almost gone, the city treated the pond for weeds and there was actually some wind throughout the afternoon! On the water conditions were good with the normal fickle dead spots and a fewContinue reading “EC-12 7/25/26”

Star 45 7/18 CANCELLED ( the weeds didn’t abate enough unfortunately!)

Knockdowns were more the norm than the exception and gunnels were under water most of the day. The winds were fickle though with boats just a few feet apart often on the sameContinue reading “EC-12 6/20/26”

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”
