The Details…
The Twenty Hundred Club Fall Race Around Prudence Island (counterclockwise) starts and finishes by Pine Hill Point – which is about 8 nm from our slip. We'll depart as soon as everyone is on the boat. I will have the boat rigged and ready to go. We will discuss crew positions on the way there and once in the race area will do some practice tacks, spinnaker sets, gybes and douses. The warning signal is at 1000 for other classes with our start warning at 1015.
Food & Drink: I will bring sandwiches for all. I have chips and granola bars for snacks. I also have gallon water jugs to fill your water bottles. Reminder – bring your own water bottle!
Plan on being at the boat – Navy Marina slip A49 at 8:05am Saturday. I expect we'll be back at the dock by 5:30pm.

The 2025 ILDR was a light air challenge for the Vento Solare crew. Pia, Elena & Henry made up 50% of the crew to qualify as a youth entry. They were joined by Peter, Matt & Bill. The crew was recognized at the awards ceremony with the 1st place Youth trophy and 3rd of 8 in the Coronet class.

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.
