Chris made a gutsy call on suspect weather ( Don’t you just love weathermen? ) which turned out to be the correct one with gradually clearing skies throughout the regatta. Six skippers tried to compete, but Chris’s rudder servo decided to be intermittent just before the first start and was replaced during the first race.Continue reading “EC-12#3 7/6/2024”

We are going to attempt to race today rain should be gone around 10 it will be wet but not raining. Bring water it’s gonna be HOT.

Heading says it all unfortunately.

It was decided that rather than running the 4th Annual V36 regatta, which will be rescheduled-probably in October, we would run the postponed V36#2. Four skippers completed a full 12 race schedule finishing just as some very serious rain began. Missing was Alain Jousse who, as I was told, found that deer crossing the highwayContinue reading “V36#2 3/22/2024”

Start time for all series regattas has been changed from 1:00 to 12:00 as noted on our modified Facebook schedule page. This does not affect special regattas.

The second regatta of the doubleheader ran from 1:00 to a bit before 3:00. Rick Gates graciously allowed Herb to sail his boat as Herb’s was sidelined. This allowed Rick to kibitz from the sidelines better ( Chuckle). Wind conditions were no better than in the morning but I’m currently at a loss for moreContinue reading “VM #2 5/25/2024”

Replacing the battery seemed to solve the problem but during the second race it reoccurred and kayak retrieval by RickContinue reading “VM #1 5/25/2024”

The No Sinka Da Footy regatta race day found good breezes increasing throughout the day to possibly just a tad more than comfortable wind. It turned out to be a challenging combination with Nashua’s swirly wind pattern causing quite a few knockdowns as well as bow plants. In the end, Herb with his trusty RazorContinue reading “No Sinka Da Footy 5/11/2024”

Be there or be square! Note the 11:00 start time. Hope to see you there.
