Round the Island

 That's right! It's time for the James H. Wilson Round the Island race!

New sailing instructions and new start times this week, so pay attention.

• Stars: First warning at 5:45 pm
• PHRF A: Warning at 5:50 pm
• PHRF B: Warning at 5:55 pm

That's 20 minutes earlier than usual, folks. Be sure you're on time for the start!

Here are the special Sailing Instructions for this race.

We start near the harbor, race around Herring Island (either direction), and then sail back to the starting line. It might be a downwind start. It might be upwind. There are currents to mess with your head.

Make sure you study and remember to honor the designated marks of the course. If we have to shorten for time, it will only be at one of those marks.

Lots of fun! See you out there.

Results from 7/27

Well, that was an unusual night! With the hoist broken at the Club and the threat of weather, we only saw six boats on the course. The wind wasn't terrible, though. I think there was a reasonably steady 4 knots for most of the race. It did die a couple of times but popped back up.

Congratulations to Bob Bennett and crew on Tomorrow for a first-place finish in the B class. Bob was able to stay in contact with the other boats and correct to first! Congrats also to Jeff Staley and crew on Ostinato for a first-place in A class.

Here's the video from June 1st. We were short-handed on the race committee, so it's a little short. Still fun, though!

 Wind in late July? Not bad at all! We saw 8 knots with gusts to 10 knots.

Congratulations to all our regulars. It was nice to see people come out for a sail on a hot night.

Nice night to be on the water last night. The fluky winds meant we had to go with a short course. Maybe the heat will stay away for another week.

All the usual suspects doing well last night. Congrats everyone.
