7/26 1300: There had been a dying breeze leading up to the start then miraculously the wind picked up enough that the boats easily moved around and all 24 boats started. It was beautiful. Well, Windswept evidently didn’t realize his start had occurred and started just before the next class, but he got his spinnaker up pretty quickly.

7/26 1700: Goat Rodeo was first boat to round Block Island mark. Looks like they were far enough ahead and maybe the current turned on the rest of the fleet because they are falling behind as Goat Rodeo rockets to the 2nd mark. Windswept has withdrawn due to autopilot failure.

7/27 0042: SeaJai was the first boat to finish (Class 4 with course F).

07/27 0627: The first boat to finish in the spinnaker classes was Goat Rodeo.

07/27 1700: The Awards was held at the Newport Yacht Club during the Folk Festival which made parking somewhat difficult. However we had a nice crowd attend of about 50 people. Past Bermuda One-Two participant Patrick Mouligne (father of Tristan) attended. 22 boats finished, 2 didn’t finish and 2 didn’t compete. Hopefully we will see some of the participants in an upcoming Bermuda One-Two.
This year we had 6 family boats of which four were in class 4.  Larvik was the best family boat in the fleet.
This being an even year we had 4 boats that did both the Offshore 160 (solo) and the New England Solo/Twin as twin and the boat the performed the best of those four is Samba, Tristan Mouligne who wins the New England ShortHanded Ocean Racing Trophy.
