The 2021 season was a little strange with a late start due to the damage from the March wind storm, followed later in the season with my bone headed move hitting a rock during the EGYC Annual regatta. Fortunately, all was fixed and we were able to sail most events.
Last weekend we completed the Conanicut ATI race. Roland & I also raced on J/122 Alliance for the Stamford-Vineyard race, so arrived back in Newport at 5am for a couple hours sleep before the CYC ATI. This was a fun event with a great party afterwards at Conanicut YC. Alyce Croasdale forwarded the photos below taken during the race.
Saturday is Sail for Pride and then the final race of the season is the Mitchel Race to Block Island on Columbus Weekend.
