Vento Solare has a new mast and looks like a proper sailboat again. Pat Tormey and I delivered to Hinckley on the afternoon of Wednesday 19 May in preparation for scheduled mast stepping first thing Thursday morning.

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. There is still plenty of storm damage work to be done. The early launch was enabled by some warm weather windows that permitted completing the bottom repairs. …

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. After the wind subsides, they will move the crane and trailer to put the boat back on the stands. …

Bill, great document presentation. Even for me it's a good refresher.
I was on the water this past Saturday and Sunday. Defiantly bring layers.
It started out warm on land, was nice on the water, was pretty cold after the first hour and that was at 3pm.
Looking forward to meeting some of the new people.

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!
