29 June 2009:  POWER PLAY wins BIRW.
POWER PLAY, with Bruce Stone at the wheel, won Block Island Race Week without winning a single race. But he also did not have worse than a 5 in 8 races with 20 boats. Consistency wins big regattas! They gave us the "Around-the-Island Race" on Monday with big breeze from the northeast and we had two more days of northerlies before the wind shut off for Thursday and Friday. But we managed to have one race on each of the light days. Full results (scroll to end).


15 June 2009:  SAVASANA wins NYYC again.
In a regatta where we got some triangle-windward-leeward courses (to accommodate the 12 meters we were sailing with), SAVASANA (Brian Keane) had two firsts, a second, a third and a fourth to win by 5 points over SEA SHADOW and MOPELIA, both with 16. It was a fairly light air regatta, in the 6-12 range with overcast skies and a slight drizzle on Sunday before racing. All three boats are headed to Block Island for next week's week long regatta. Full results (Green Fleet).
