Recently I was contacted by North Sails marketing and asked if they could take some video and interview the crew after the Conanicut Around the Island Race. Before and during the race, the North Sails team shot video from both a drone and on the water. After the race, Ellinor Walters from North Sails marketing conducted interviews at the dock with the crew. The results are prominently featured in 12 September North Sails News article Trusting in North at this link. The video below is included in the article. By the way – the sails in this video are the same ones shredded two weeks before in the cell that blew through Newport during our Tuesday night race. Eric Wakefield and the North Sails service team were able to repair them to almost as good as new.

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!
