– Last Sail for 2020 Season – |
Hello %firstname% %lastname%,
This Friday 23 October the plan is to do the Twenty Hundred Club Around Aquidneck Island Challenge, or deliver the boat to Borden Light Marina. Everyone will meet at the boat at 9am Friday. Weather permitting this will be a spinnaker run heading South under the Newport Bridge, reach across Brenton Reef, reach up the Sakonnet, stop in Tiverton basin on a mooring for lunch, then continue around the top of the island and sail down the bay under spinnaker. If the weather doesn’t support circumnavigation, we’ll take Vento Solare up the bay to Borden Light Marina. There will be rum and hot cider available after sail.
Please set your availability (Yes, No or Maybe) at this link and I will be automatically notified.
Should we complete the circumnavigation, we’ll take sails off the boat at the Navy Marina and I’ll motor up the bay to Borden Light Marina on Saturday.

Thanks to Lisa, Kathy, Sue & Gerry Vento Solare was wet sanded in no time at all with perfect wet weather to help. Here are a few pictures from Sue's phone. Thanks for your help!
A fun evening sharing a table with Eric, Mary, Chris, Maggie, Francis, Lisa, Bill & Cindy.

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!
