Spring 2018

Notes

We had a very light turnout this year. 12 boats signed up and 1 dropped out before the skipper’s meeting. 11 boats started for Block Island on a nice day. The winds were light out of the SSW initially building the nearer one got to Block Island where the wind was around 20 kts. Unfortunately for some of us (read that Floating Point) the wind died along the coast of Connecticut. 2 boats finished on motor.

Sunday morning the rain started and the wind built to 20-30 out of the NE which at Payne’s is uncomfortable. This lasted to around midnight Sunday and slowly decreased to no wind around 1130 Monday. All of the boats actually stayed till Monday. Floating Point motored all the way to Newport.

Cliff Payne let us use his upstairs room for our activities so a bad day turned out very nice. Brian Clayton presided over the Contests and Awards.
