The Details…
The Twenty Hundred Club Fall Race Around Prudence Island (counterclockwise) starts and finishes by Pine Hill Point – which is about 8 nm from our slip. We’ll depart as soon as everyone is on the boat. I will have the boat rigged and ready to go. We will discuss crew positions on the way there and once in the race area will do some practice tacks, spinnaker sets, gybes and douses. The warning signal is at 1000 for other classes with our start warning at 1015.
Food & Drink: I will bring sandwiches for all. I have chips and granola bars for snacks. I also have gallon water jugs to fill your water bottles. Reminder – bring your own water bottle!
Plan on being at the boat – Navy Marina slip A49 at 8:05am Saturday. I expect we’ll be back at the dock by 5:30pm.

A great day to be out sailing for the 2024 maiden voyage. We helped Blue Skies pushed off the dock at 1100, then were soon underway. We put up the main and unfurled the jib on a reach as soon as we were clear of Borden Light Marina. SOG was 9+ knots for a portion of the trip. We arrived at the Navy Marina at 1320 - pretty good time!

A great weekend on Block Island with Kathy, Claire & Bill. Great race results and appetizer contest results. We were fortunate to have the blender and the heater on the boat. After a nice weekend on Block Island we had a fast ride back with everyone taking time on the helm.
A few pictures from our family sail on Grandpa's birthday weekend. Unfortunately hurricane Ophelia changed our plans for a weekend on Block Island. We did a Friday evening sail in Newport, grabbed a mooring for cocktails and dinner, then went back to our slip at the Navy marina. We stayed on the boat Friday night and went to the YMCA for Isla's soccer which was moved to the indoor gym.

Kai's note to Grandpa for his birthday weekend.
A great weekend of racing with everybody with Vento Solare finishing 2nd place overall. Crew work was fantastic all three days. Starting from the bow with Roland, mast with Will, pit with Andrew, trimming with Sarah & Mary, and main / tactics with Trevor (Jeff Roy for Around the Island on Friday). We saw the full spectrum of wind from 5 to 22 kts over 3 days.
Congrats to Divided Sky who put up all first place finishes. The rest of the class including J/109 URSA, J/99 Upbeat, Sunfast 3300 Avalon and Express 37 COUCOU all provided the challenge as fierce competitors.
