This message is to let everyone know that I will have a familiarization sail on J/109 Vento Solare Wednesday 30 July. Boat call time is 5pm for all but Pia and Elena. The boat is located in slip A-49 at the Navy Marina. I know that the Richards have base access for the family.
Elena & Pia please meet 4pm at the Navy Base Pass & ID parking lot 1377 Cloyne Ct, Newport, RI 02840. This is on the right just before the causeway by the main gate. Someone will drive people without access on base.
Sarah & Coop please meet 4:30pm at the Navy Base Pass & ID parking lot and Peter will get you on base.
We will have a quick boat familiarization for Elena & Pia at the dock. Everyone else will join and we 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.

I expect this to complete no later than 7pm back at the dock. Please feel free to email, call or text with any questions. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

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
The drone we saw tonight was Stephen Cloutier's (Block Island Steve). Here is a link to some great video under spinnaker.
