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.

A great day to be out sailing for the 2024 maiden voyage. We helped Blue Skies pushed off the dock at 1100, then were soon underway. We put up the main and unfurled the jib on a reach as soon as we were clear of Borden Light Marina. SOG was 9+ knots for a portion of the trip. We arrived at the Navy Marina at 1320 - pretty good time!
The delivery crew: Scott, Burch, Jack, Steve & Bill
A great weekend on Block Island with Kathy, Claire & Bill. Great race results and appetizer contest results. We were fortunate to have the blender and the heater on the boat. After a nice weekend on Block Island we had a fast ride back with everyone taking time on the helm.
A few pictures from our family sail on Grandpa's birthday weekend. Unfortunately hurricane Ophelia changed our plans for a weekend on Block Island. We did a Friday evening sail in Newport, grabbed a mooring for cocktails and dinner, then went back to our slip at the Navy marina. We stayed on the boat Friday night and went to the YMCA for Isla's soccer which was moved to the indoor gym.

Kai's note to Grandpa for his birthday weekend.
A great weekend of racing with everybody with Vento Solare finishing 2nd place overall. Crew work was fantastic all three days. Starting from the bow with Roland, mast with Will, pit with Andrew, trimming with Sarah & Mary, and main / tactics with Trevor (Jeff Roy for Around the Island on Friday). We saw the full spectrum of wind from 5 to 22 kts over 3 days.
Congrats to Divided Sky who put up all first place finishes. The rest of the class including J/109 URSA, J/99 Upbeat, Sunfast 3300 Avalon and Express 37 COUCOU all provided the challenge as fierce competitors.
