HHSA: Results for Thursday, 9-3-2026

Ahoy!

8 boats showed up for the last in-season Thursday race. The rainy morning yielded to sun and mild winds for a perfect sailboat racing afternoon. Trinity won the race by 35 seconds over Gloria with Apres just 13 seconds behind at third. The dying wind was again to the fast boats' advantage, but this time in just the slightest way. Clearly the September tides were on the march, with the ebbing current working hard to slow the path from West Chop to East. Our last in-season race is scheduled for Sunday and the forecast is showing high winds. But who is counting on these predictions now with our changing climate?

Still time to sign up for the Moffett race.

The Awards pot luck will be Wednesday, 6:00 PM as usual at the VHYC. 3rd place still to be determined.

Sorry for the delay in this reporting....Glitches are always out there ready to get you.

All the best, Roger.

HHSA: Sunday's Results 8/30/26

Ahoy!

11 boats started today's race around course #7 with a windward leg in about 15 knots of wind with gusts in the 20s. The wind was just west enough and current ebbing so just a little windward work was required and most of the fleet knocked off the 10 miles in just over an hour and a half. Easy Rider won the cup with 42 seconds to spare and the whole fleet (less the 2 dropouts) finished within 8 minutes on corrected time.

2 races remain on the schedule, and the weather is holding up pretty well this year. Sign up for the Moffett if you haven't already.

From: Rawson Clough <rawson.clough@gmail.com>

Ahoy Roger!

Our sailors enjoyed a sporty afternoon of racing. Winds were out of the Southwest with gusts into the mid—20s, so much of fleet was reefed to some degree. We ran Course 7 and our start was set half a mile downwind of Buoy A near Mass Transit. The start was exciting with 10 boats charging full speed upwind- it was a cool sight to watch. Gloria and Silhouette withdrew as the wind built, but 8 boats made it across the line in great time. Campana was first across the line in about 90 minutes. Our results were as follows:

Campana - 3:33:29
Trinity IX - 3:34:21
Bliss - 3:35:16
Easy Rider - 3:37:42
Artful Dodger - 3:37:44
Maitland - 3:43:46
Penelope - 3:44:08
Tamu - 3:44:55
Julia Lee - 4:22:13
Gloria (DNF)
Silhouette (DNF)

Thanks, and take care!

Julia Lee was too far back to see – which side of the course turned out to be favored, especially with a true southerly?

Ahoy!

14 boats sailed the triangle with windward starting leg. The wind, from the South was sufficient to get everyone around...some faster than others. Maitland continues to dominate with another first place...just one minute and 7 seconds ahead of second place Easy Rider. Its always fun to watch each boat in the fleet pick different sides of the course for their windward work, but paying attention to the ferry boats is part of it also. And can anyone figure out the current without actually getting in it before discovering which way it goes? Races scheduled for right when the charts show a high or low tide are always a guess.

Sign up for the Moffett if you haven't already and be sure to mention the race to any friends and neighbors who might be interested in joining in. Here's the link to the online info about the race: https://www.regattanetwork.com/event/30901#_home

Two Sunday races and One more Thursday race remain on our HHSA schedule for 2026 in season races. Awards pot luck dinner is Wednesday, September 9th at the VHYC, 6:00 PM.

There will some post season races, no doubt...stay tuned.

All the best, Roger.

HHSA: Sunday's results 8/23/26

Ahoy! 6 boats raced around the Triangle after a Windward Starting Leg is winds of less than 8 knots from various directions during the hour and a half contest. Artful Dodger made good use of his time on the course after a sail over from Falmouth in a blinding rainstorm. He won the race on corrected time, missing by 3 seconds on elapsed time, just behind Trinity. Sun was cooking after the clouds blew off and it was like a different day entirely by the time we were back on the moorings.

All the best, Roger.

Ahoy Roger!

Six optimistic boats headed out this afternoon after the rain passed over and got ready to sail Course 1 or 0 in Reverse. We delayed our start by 30 minutes, so our first gun was at 2:30 with a 2:35 start. The wind freshened up out of the SSE for the first leg and a half of the race, but those toward the back of the fleet over ground were left floating for a bit with some shifty little gusts off of West Chop. Course 1R was shortened to 0R and we finished everyone back at N6 after one lap around the triangle. There was a bit of chaos at the starting line resulting in Maitland being called back to the line after performing her penalty turns, and some action at the windward mark if I’m not mistaken. Glad everything was resolved on the water and look forward to some more clean racing for the next one! Our results were as follows:

1. Trinity IX - 3:43:40

2. Artful Dodger - 3:43:43

3. Tamu - 3:50:09

4. Penelope - 3:52:30

5. Maitland - 4:01:03

6. Gloria - 4:08:31

Thanks, and have a great rest of your weekend,

Rawson

HHSA: Thursday's Results - 8/20/26

Ahoy!

Tristan won it with his J 24, yet to be named. Who ever was on the wind switch this evening...please call... we need to talk.

I'm going to leave it to Rawson Clough tonight:

Ahoy Roger!

Thursday evening, Course 0, we all know the drill. We were joined by two new boats this evening, which was nice to see- Black Coral and a J24 skippered by Tristan Lodge. Hopefully we’ll continue to see more of them going forward. We could have used just ten more minutes of wind and we might have gotten everybody all the way around. We watched the exact moment the wind said “no more” as Penelope fought to reach the finish while her one-design rival, Tamu, rode the last breath of wind and drifted across the line. Two boats were over the line early, Maitland and Zebra, drawn down to the pin end, and I reluctantly called them back to the line. Hopefully we have some more wind for the next one! Our results were as follows:

Zebra - 6:03:30
Trinity IX - 6:04:25
J24 (Tristan Lodge - 2421) - 6:06:33
Maitland - 6:09:35
Tamu - 6:12:08
Artful Dodger - 6:12:34
Penelope - 6:16:35
Gloria - 6:21:51
Black Coral - DNF

Thanks, and take care!

Ahoy! 11 boats started today's race and 10 made around the course #3 with a windward starting leg. As forecasted, the wind was mild and built up as the boats made the great circle race. Here's what else happened to those out in the sound too long: CURRENT. FOUL. Maitland won the cup with a little over a minute to spare, her third win in a row.... which requires a 15 Sec/Mi adjustment to her rating to be carried until the end of the year. Trinity was the elapsed time winner. Her "starter rating" of -15 was reduced to -19 after the 5 race adjustment was made for her next 5 or so races...so she is doing a little better than expected. The story about the first mark needs to be told by others...but it looked like some port starboard issues combined with uncertainty about which side to leave the N6 buoy on. Hopefully it was all sorted out to everyone's satisfaction.

Next race Thursday.

Stay watchfull for info about the VHYC's Jewett Bowl race on Saturday. Separate entry required. Info will be coming.

Sign up for Moffett race so you don't get left out. The year end celebration race draws boats of every description. Great race for those interested in how the various designs compare. All welcome, HHSA members or not.

All the best, Roger.
