Class 15 Start - Daniel Forster/PPL photo |
|
|
Recap from Jim DaSilva who sailed on the J/133 Vamoose, finishing 2nd in Class 15. “Lot of fun, one design-ish with 6 other J/133's in class. We all expected a 15 - 20+ southwesterly for the first 8 hours of the race but a system came through and turned off the breeze 40 minutes after our start. We went from #2 to a 1/2 rolled code as a windseeker. Whatever game plan the boats had at the start, the board was completely reshuffled when the breeze shut off. Trying to make way was the goal. Not the way one wants to start a 600-mile race. We went rhumb line mostly and then worked the western side after we exited the Gulf Stream, heading toward Bermuda. A well-sailed Canadian J/133, Blue Jay, went east, and after 628 miles we met on opposite jibes at Kitchen Shoals. It lent for a pretty focused match race to the finish with 5 more jibes. Lots of fun.”
Other Eastern members who raced to Bermuda included Sailing Chair Stan Schreyer and Frank Arabia on the Swan 42 Entropy, finishing 7th in Class 18. |

Rhodes 19 East Coast Championships Recap By Kim Pandapas |
|
|
Manchester Yacht Club hosted the Championship June 10th - 12th with EYC sailors Seamus Hourihan, Patrick Andreasen and Peter Frisch participating. Recap from Kim Pandapas’ weekly write up of the Rhodes Fleet: “Racing was spectacular. Conditions for the three days were a tale of three cities. Day 1 featured a southwesterly that built through the afternoon and topped out in the high teens with gusts in the low 20s, but with flat water.
|
| |
|
The conditions were spirited. Day 2 was lighter, with a slow-to develop sea breeze that finally got its act together around 1:30 pm. Day 3 featured a developing sea breeze that topped out at about 10 knots.
Congratulations to Team Frisch / Hourihan in Hall Pass, who didn’t just win the regatta, they dominated it. Sailing with Patrick Andreasen on Friday and Peter Frisch on Saturday and Sunday, Seamus Hourihan put on a clinic. As I’ve mentioned in the past, there are generally two types of regatta wins. The first is by attrition, where the racing is tight, no one dominates, results are close, and the winner is the last man standing. The second is simply going out and taking it. That’s what 1210 did, putting up a line of 1-3-1-1-3-6-1-1-1 for 12 points, throwing out the 6. Six bullets in 9 races. A huge round of applause for a truly awesome performance. Really well done!”

Friday Night Fights Recap |
|
|
The EYC team of Alden Reid, Hannah Lynn, Peter Lynn, and Clinton Hayes sailed the first Friday Night Fights match race event on June 17th. The evening was warm, sunny, and quite windy, and provided a casual race setting for both experienced and new match racers. It was a great learning opportunity and included a short informal debrief (with beverages!) back at CYC after sailing.
The next event will be held on July 8th. Please reach out to Clinton Hayes if you're interested in sailing or putting a team together. |
