The General Manager Rudy and staff of the Newport Yacht Club for putting up with us.
7/31 0800 – Boats finished mostly between midnight and 3 am never loosing wind and strong enough that they were busy all the time not finding much time to eat. First boat to finish was Privateer at 0019 and the last boat to finish was Windswept at 0439. Unfortunately no one checked that the antenna cable was plugged into the VHF radio at the Duty Desk so no reports from the fleet were heard by the Duty Desk. Sorry about that; embarrassing!
7/30 1500 – Looking at AIS it looks like Privateer Class 1 has rounded the buoy SW of Block Island, Cepheus Class 2 and Meridian Class 5 near New Harbor entrance and Class 4 around 1BI. All boats are going around Block Island.
7/30 1300 – 32 boats started (4 had withdrawn pre start) in a North Westerly breeze that was anywhere from 5 to 15 knots. Wind is expected to be NW pretty much the whole time and get into the 20s during the evening calming down into the teens tomorrow morning. Unfortunately there were 3 other circles going on with a team racing circle near us and a cargo ship and big yacht anchored near us so the starting area was limited for the boats. No incidents occurred that I know of. 5 classes started; no multihulls. First time I can think of that multihulls didn’t race. The courses assigned were: Classes 1 and 2 had course A (103nm), Classes 3 and 5 had course B (93 nm) and Class 4 had course C (77 nm). All courses go around Block Island to round the buoy in the Sout West corner of Block Island.
