MOHOSA is raced in Mt Hope Bay. We will enter spinnaker class PHRF 63. I will pick up crew at the Boathouse Restaurant dock in Tiverton (227 Schooner Drive) at 5:15pm, and after the race drop those who don't want to do the return sail to Newport there. Anyone who wants to do the return sail to Newport with us will have a ride the Boathouse to get their cars.
Here is the schedule:
1:45pm – Bill meets ?? at Newport Nautical supply at 1:45pm on Weds. to drive him on Navy base to Navy Marina. Anyone else who wants to do the delivery can meet there (or at the boat)

Tristan Mouligne captured this picture from the Class 40 Res Potentia on Saturday morning. Vento Solare is limping into Newport with the spinnaker wrapped around the headstay. This occurred when a letterbox douse was attempted the evening before while trying to round R32 off Gay Head, Marthas Vineyard. The spinnaker became badly wrapped around the headstay and jib while unfurling the jib for a letterbox douse. Sarah was hoisted up the mast 1/3 of the way in the dark to try and unwrap the spinnaker but was unsuccessful. Thus the decision was made to retire and motor back to Newport. We tied up to a mooring at Coasters Harbor and hoisted Sarah to the top. The spinnaker head was fouled under the headstay and caught on the upper swivel, preventing the furler from moving in either direction. Sarah disconnected the spinnaker halyard and was able to unwrap the spinnaker. Once that was done we were able to unwind the rest of the spinnaker without damage, and completely unfurl, then refurl the jib.

Fantastic weather for a spin run up the bay, followed by dinner at the Boathouse with Lisa, Francis, Pat, Cindy & Bill. The boat is all set for the race Saturday.
A great time and memories on Block Island with everyone this weekend. Here is a link to my photos: https://photos.app.goo.gl/mByUFS7qtx2Vdz2d8
