Fall 2010

Notes

Of 38 boats scheduled to start (there were 2 power boats also) 35 boats started and 34 finished. The wind was mostly out of the NW with periods lighter than others. Given the reaching conditions it was difficult for the bigger boats to pass the smaller boats however some did well; Paradise, Hunter 44, passed all and finished first in fleet. Floating Point never made it to the starting line; the transmission broke before they even got out of the harbor. Brian Clayton drove down to the ferry and was able to take his vehicle on the ferry with the trophies and shirts. The weather was very nice on the whole weekend if not a little bit cool though and wind pretty much all the time.

Most people thought the new finish line, rounding the R2 Bell to starboard, was a good modification.

There was a tie for first place between Paradise (Dark Star, Paradise, Coconut) and Frou-Frou (Godzilla, Nepenthe, Counterpoint). However the award went to Paradise due to the tie breaker and thus got the booze.

Notes

28 of 34 boats started and 24 boats finished with winds out of the SW all the way to New Harbor. It was a fairly nice day but not a quick ride; tacking all the way. The little F27 Flying Fish, Steve Parks was the first boat to finish, again. The weekend was absolutely wonderful. Except for a little rain Saturday evening it was one of the most wonderful weekend regattas. We woke up to fog Sunday morning but it disipated very fast and the day warmed up into the 80s; thousands of people were on the island and on the beach. The ride back was SE all the way back, getting weak for about one hour and built to around 15kts for another wonderful day.

Notes

34 boats started and 34 finished fast. It was basically starboard tack all the way out. The weather was very nice on the way out and after we arrived to Payne’s Dock.

For Sunday, the weather was again nice however the temperature started to go down in the afternoon and the wind picked up quite a bit until early morning.

Monday was a COLD ride back to Newport.

Fall 2008

Notes

35 boats started for Block Island in beautiful weather. Two cruise liners came in during the start. The wind started out of the N and NW until boats were around Pt. Judith and the Narragansett shore where the wind went dormant. The wind switched to the S or SE and boats congrigated around 1BI. The wind was really light at the finish line and the wind shifts were impressive coming into the finish.

Sunday was another beautiful day, cloudless and in the 60s. Hors d’oeuvre contest was held at 1500 and awards at 1600 were well attended.

The return on Monday started out with a westerly, died and switched to the N.

Fall 2007

Notes

Saturday was fog, fog, fog! And what about that forcast of 5-10 knots of breeze; ended up WSW about 21 kts. About half of the fleet actually finished; one boat had to turn back, Gratitude, due to the forestay coming off. They jury rigged a forestay and went back to Newport; no one hurt. Topaz towed a power boat to the New Harbor entrance. 27 sail boats were signed up 13 finished.

Sunday was a nice day for the hors d’oeuvre contest and awards. A few boats left in a NE breeze.

Everyone left by 1015 Monday in a SW breeze. We had one jibe all the way to Castle Hill where the wind became NW and light so we turned on the iron genny.
