Nice, nearly constant wind from the East made for good sailing. Unfortunately heavy mist was present for most of the day. Cliff’s winch broke just before the start, keeping him on the beach for the afternoon. Dave sailed his newly acquired boat well- including a win in one of the races.

The VM regatta was cut short before the minimum amount of races were completed because of a medical emergency. A poll was taken after the ambulance left to not continue the regatta. Unofficial results below: (Note that 1st place was determined by the last tiebreaker ( place in final race) before a coin toss!) Winds were fairly light and extremely fluky throughout the day.

V36 cancelled due to a combination of high winds, rain, and lightning.

Low 70°’s and around 8 knot winds ( with some crazy gusts) made for some good sailing as Herb easily outdistanced the field for the win. Jim Linville came with 3 boats but decided not to compete. Results follow:

Great weather including fair winds and ample sunshine greeted 8 sailors for the first regatta of the season. 7 EC-12’s and a US12 ( actually a mini12 from Canada) took to the water for 12 races.

Note that 182 AND 549 ( both Rick Gates’ boats) were skippered by multiple people. Results follow:

Hello, all we are planning a vote at the Minuteman zoom meeting at the end of the month. We will be asking if you would like an in-person meeting here in Nashua (pine st eatery) or a zoom meeting online.

Working on a date for a meeting to discuss our 2023 season looking at late January or early February in person at the Pine St eatery.

Great fall weather with very light winds and long race times made for a 6 race regatta. Jim Linville, due to receiver problems, had to retire early, however the other 5 skippers continued through less than ideal conditions. Herb Dreher again takes first with Cliff Martin just behind. Chris O’Brien, sailing Cliff’s other boat, came in third, followed by Rick Laird ( fourth) and Rick Gates ( fifth). Due to Jim Linville’s radio problems, Jim rounded out the field in sixth.
