Ahoy Crew,

Please update your availability at this link from Maybe to Yes or No and indicate if bringing a significant other so we have an accurate head count.

We plan on having a Texas Tuesday New England Style farewell at the Kneller's house for John & Laurence, who are Tom & Diana's Innkeepers at the Almondy Inn.  John & Laurence are moving to Florida. The plan is for Vento Solare to finish practice and be back at the dock no later than 6:30pm so we can proceed to the party. Other people attending are John & Laurence, new innkeepers Shelby & Jerome, Eric Irwin, Mary Martin, Julija & Conor O'Neil, Lisa Hammond, Caitlin Niemic, and Jakob Sutton.

Cindy is getting Blount Clam Chowder and Mary is bringing Yankee Pot Roast and Shrimp Scampi. Lisa is bringing a cake and Maggie is bringing a Chopped Salad and appetizer.  Feel free to bring any beverages.

JYC Spring Series Tuesday night weekly. The warning signal for the first class is approximately 1800.

There are extra people onboard for the early season to provide training opportunities. Normally no more than 8 on the boat.

Those needing a ride on base please meet Roland  5:00 pm at the Pass & ID parking lot to be driven on base.

For base access we will work it similar to past years.  If you do not have base access, you should arrive at the designated time (15 minutes before boat call) at the Pass & ID office.  Text or call and let me know who is there.  Consolidate in cars if possible, then someone who has base access will stand on the causeway and you will be directed to drive there so that person may ride through the gate with you to get on base.

View the start of the Transatlantic Race - first warning is 11:00 in the vicinity of Castle Hill.

We will have beverages an appetizers to watch the start..

The start date for the next edition of sailing's greatest Corinthian challenge has been set. The Transatlantic Race 2025 will depart Newport, RI on Wednesday, June 18, 2025 headed for the southern coast of England. A virtual gate off Lizard Point will enable teams to challenge the course record for this historic passage, but the official finish will take place off the Royal Yacht Squadron's waterfront castle in Cowes, England.

The Transatlantic Race 2025, is a direct descendant of the first great transatlantic ocean race, which started from New York Harbor on December 11, 1866. In the years since, this course has been plied with less frequency than other, shorter offshore race tracks; the 2025 edition will be just the 32nd transatlantic race organized by the New York Yacht Club. Because of that, and the fact that a race from the United States to Europe (or the return) is virtually guaranteed at least one significant storm, simply finishing a transatlantic race remains one of sailing's most coveted accomplishments.

The Organizing Authority of the TR2025 is comprised of the New York Yacht Club Regatta Association, Inc and the Royal Ocean Racing Club. Together with the support of their partners, the Royal Yacht Squadron and Storm Trysail Club, these renowned sailing established will ensure this edition of the Transatlantic Race will be a memorable one.

This message is to let everyone know that I will have a familiarization sail on J/109 Vento Solare this Thursday 17 July.  Boat call time is 5pm.  The boat is located in slip A-49 at the Navy Marina.  I know that Anselm has base access for his family.  I would appreciate it if Jamie would coordinate with the Richards to get on the Navy base.
 
We will have a quick boat familiarization at the dock, then will go out and run through some evolutions upwind with the jib and downwind with the spinnaker. For this practice we will not rig jacklines, but I do expect all to wear PFDs.
 

The youth participants will include

  • Hannah Richards
  • Henry Richards
  • Rory Meunier (Maybe as she is working on Block Island)

I will try and arrange some of my regular crew to help coach and should know if I need additional assistance from either Coop or Anselm. I expect this to complete no later than 7pm back at the dock. Please feel free to email, call or text with any questions.
