Another one in the books! We were expecting two knot breezes but, even though the water was often like glass (see pictures below), there was enough to keep the boats moving a majority of the time. Wind shifts were everywhere but very small volume causing quite a few place swaps including a VERY last placeContinue reading “EC-12 9/27/2025”

Forecast is mid 70’s temperatures with light breezes from the North under mostly sunny skies.

9/20/2025 Some were worried that today wasn’t going to happen. Wind forecast was for one knot with gusts non-existent but when we arrived at the pond there were ripples on the water- always a good sign! Herb, the eventual leader, started out with a horrible first race but after that won every race, often convincingly,Continue reading “Old Man Of The Mountain Footy Regatta”

Nice weather, better breezes than forecast, comfortable temperatures, partly cloudy skies and minimal weeds… life is good! Add to that no mechanical problems until the last race when Chris’s receiver battery died (with just enough electrons to get back to the dock!). On the water, Cliff and Herb were locked into their first and secondContinue reading “V36 9-13-2025”

We got the regatta in! With probably the most fickle winds of the year, tornado warnings and full overcast with some very dark clouds rolling through, it was an interesting day. As we packed our cars we noticed raindrops on the pond even. Chris and I were sailing classics and the other 3 were allContinue reading “VM 9-6-2025”

What a beautiful day! Partly cloudy with temps in the high 70’s. The breezes? Well… shall we say less than optimal. The Nashua Swirlies were out in force and Mother Nature couldn’t decide where the wind was coming from. At times two boats were abreast about a foot apart and on opposite tacks and thisContinue reading “EC-12 8-30-2025”

What a day! Temperature in the low 80’s, mostly clear skies and the best breezes we’ve had all year. Prior to racing we even had 2 schooners on the water for tuning. Cliff and Alain brought their boats in anticipation of the Vintage Nationals to be held in New Jersey in October. On racing, youContinue reading “V36 8-23-2025”

Sunny day and, amazingly, no rain again! The breeze could have definitely been stronger, but we made do. Before the first race Chris’s boat’s rudder servo decided to retire but, luckily, steered straight to the far side where it could be retrieved from the walkway. Weeds were somewhat of a problem but have been worseContinue reading “VM 8-9-2025”

Good weather, fair winds… what more could you ask for! Well maybe a little more wind would have been nice. Alain was sailing his VM against the EC-12’s but was trying out a new rig and not really getting the performance expected. At times it was looking very fast though, just not on all pointsContinue reading “EC-12 8-2-2025”

Another good weather day! The breeze, although rather light, were fairly consistent for Sandy Pond without the usual “swirlies” because the breezes were generally form the East for a change. Racing got off to a very slow start because just before the first start Alain’s rudder servo died. He quickly replaced it using one ofContinue reading “V36 #2 7/26/2025”
