Vento Solare Splashed 2024

Vento Solare Splashed 2023
Vento Solare is finally launched! Normally this is just a check in the box but this year a major milestone. The week prior to Easter I felt miserable and had no energy. After a couple of calls to the doctor on separate days, …
Spinnaker Test Results
Vento Solare has a new North Sails 2022 Class A2 spinnaker that we used the first day at the Cedar Point OD regatta where we were not happy with how it projected. It was a light air day (winds less than 8 kts). …
Physics and Sail Shape
A great tutorial on sail shape and trimming from Adam Walsh.
Quick note on the physics of sail shape. The power (pull) and direction of that power generated by the sail is correlated to the max depth of the sails cord length. …

Approaching End of Season

Vento Solare Launched – March 2021!
A first in the record books for Vento Solare. We splashed on 30 March 2021 – the first time ever we’ve made a March launch date. Unfortunately the early launch date doesn’t provide immediate sailing gratification. …
March Comes in like a Lion with some damage
Borden Light Marina called me at 10:30 on March 2nd to let me know that Vento Solare had rolled off the stands during the ongoing wind storm we’re having. I went to the marina and took some pictures. …

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.
