We’ll meet at the Newport YC and drive in Bill’s car to sail from the Navy Marina and head out to enjoy sailing around the lower bay. A few Frostbite sailors have been invited to attend also. After sailing we’ll pull into a slip around 4pm at Newport Yacht Club for refreshments on Vento Solare. Bill will stay on the boat overnight and do Frostbite sailing the next day. The Twenty Hundred Club dinner is at 6pm at the Viking Hotel Saturday night. If anyone wants to join Cindy & I for the dinner (and awards – we get plenty!) tickets may be purchased at this link.
Schedule:
- 1:30pm – Meet at Newport YC and leave cars there
- 1:35pm – Bill drives people to Navy Marina in his car
- ~2:00 pm – Navy Marina Slip A49 – Underway on Vento Solare
- ~4:00pm – Dock at Newport YC – Cindy meets us there
- Celebrate Spring on Vento Solare (Topside if nice, below decks with heater on if too cold)
- 5:30pm – those attending Twenty Hundred Club shore party walk to Hotel Viking for the awards dinner
We’ll have ingredients for the hot beverages & apps to warm the crew since the water temperature makes the air cold! The cocktail table will be on the boat for when we get back to the dock. The heater will also be onboard if we want to party inside.
Be at Newport YC - Sat April 13th @ 1:30PM EDT

A fun evening sharing a table with Eric, Mary, Chris, Maggie, Francis, Lisa, Bill & Cindy. Mary was recognized with a US Sailing award as a JYC member for her communications role on J/122 Alliance in the Bermuda Race. Maggie accepted the J/122 Leading Edge third place fall series award for Tom and Diana. The picture below shows Bill & Cindy with the 1st place spring series award for J/109 Vento Solare.
In the end it turned out that the Ida Lewis YC awarded the youth trophy to Vento Solare. Pictures from the award ceremony and the trophies are below.

Thank you for a great time. That hour penelty seems steep. If you look at yellow brick there were a few other boats in our class that were just inside that south east dot. Not sure how picky they were being.
Either way great work by everyone. Enjoy the party.
Bill went to the protest hearing about our sailing in the exclusion zone to fix the spinnaker. The results of the protest was the RC added 1 hour to our corrected time. This put us in 2nd place for the youth entries. We would have had 1st in youth if not for this. Hope to see you all at the awards ceremony!
Updated boat call time is 10am this morning. Those needing ride on base meet 0945 pass & ID parking lot.
