Final sail of the 2021 season. We’ll deliver Vento Solare from the Navy Marina to Borden Light Marina.
Meet at either:
- 0930 – Borden Light Marina
or - 1000 – Navy Marina
Scott & I will preposition a car at Borden Light Marina 0930 and drive to the Navy base. We should be there about 10am. We’ll then sail up the bay to Borden Light.
Once at Borden Light the sails will be dropped, folded and taken off the boat. The engine system will be winterized and the boat ready to haul.
Those who want to pre-position a car at Borden Light can meet us 0930, or those who want to drive back with us to the Navy base afterwards can meet at the base at 1000.
Bring whatever snacks and beverages you want. I have rum and ginger beer on the boat.
Be at Navy Marina Slip A49 - Wed October 20th @ 10:00AM EDT

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.
