NOTES:
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.
I would like to thank the following people for support:
Race Commitee – Peter Jencks, Ted Singsen, Caryn Cummings, Diane Guillemette and Roy Guay.
Duty Desk – Bill & Alyce Croasdale, Rosa Tysor, Ted Singsen and Roy Guay.
Staff – Rudy, Dani, Lynn & Staff for putting up with us. Tim, Lynn and staff for the food for breakfast and Awards.
And of course thanks to all the participants. This wouldn’t be a race without you.
07/27 0627: The first boat to finish in the spinnaker classes was Goat Rodeo.
7/27 0042: SeaJai was the first boat to finish (Class 4 with course F).
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Windswept has withdrawn due to autopilot failure.
7/26 1300: There had been dying 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.
