Ahoy!

8 boats sailed course #2 today in about 7 knots of wind from the NE.  The current was helpful on the windward legs but may have hurt on the runs.  The breeze died off leaving the back of the fleet once again on the course with less wind than the early finishers.  Did it all balance out?  We'll need a closer analysis to determine that.  One thing for sure is that in light air the currents take on an outsized role and decisions concerning which course to take play a big part in the outcome.  Silhouette won today's race by a minute and a half.  Good things are happening on that boat, now late in the season.  The tight competition for the Jewett season prize remains unchanged as the two boats tied for second place had to throw out scores exactly equal to what they earned today, leaving the first place boat, who didn't attend, also with the same score!  Not sure I've ever seen that scenario play out before.

Wednesday at 6:00 PM is the annual awards pot luck dinner at the VHYC.   Moffett registration at $50 ends Monday late, the race is next Saturday.  Forecast is for WIND!  

See you then,  
Roger.

Ahoy Roger!

We had a great afternoon of racing today! It was a choppy NE day- lots of boat traffic and 7-8 kts of breeze. 8 boats made their way to the line and we ran Course 2. It was a beautiful afternoon to be on the water. The racing took just long enough for me to beat Chace in chess 3 times (no big deal). It was a perfect way to cap off a great season of official Holmes Hole racing for me on Vig. I'm super grateful for the experience of being out on the water with all of you. I learned a lot and it was fun for me to be a part of this community of passionate sailors. Now that I won't be running the races, as far as I know, if anyone finds themselves in need of a crew for a sail, I'll be looking for more opportunities to get out on the water. 

2:05 PM start, Course 2, winds 7-8 kts NE
  1. Aprés - 3:24:02
  2. Silhouette - 3:32:45
  3. Easy Rider - 3:34:50

Ahoy!

     11 boats sailed the triangle in reverse with a windward starting leg.   The wind was strong at a good 15 knots for the first mile and 1/2, but then slowly dropped off.  Note that the scores reported at the after race gathering were incorrect due to a typo in the length of the race...so there are some changes.  Julia Lee won the race handily...the "Winner of 3 in a row penalty" she suffered earlier in the season was insufficient to set the little catboat back.  The competition for the Jewett Cup has really heated up now with Tamu continuing in first place but only 3 points ahead of Artful Dodger and Penelope who are tied for second.  Sunday's race, the last of the in-season races, will be the decider.  Our guest boat this evening was Moonraker, a Morris Spirit 36, sailed by Zach Lee.  This was a warm up race for her as she prepares for the Moffett.

Ahoy!

5 boats sailed course Number 5 with a windward leg making for 10.6 miles in some serious wind and waves.  The cross current course includes a leg, in this case with a favorable current, along the Falmouth water front, but it was all to weather to get back to the finish.   Silhouette won today's race with just 49 seconds to spare (Corrected, 2 Min - 9 Sec elapsed)  and 3rd and 4th  positions were corrected to just over a minute.  This after 2 hours on the course. 

The Jewett Cup is still up for grabs with just 2 races left on the schedule.  The top three in the running Tamu with 77 points, Artful Dodger (75 points) and Penelope (73 points) will need to do high math to figure out how the 40% throw out rule will weigh in.  Is there a wildcard...you never know.   I'm sure all three are wondering how many boats and thus how many points are in the balance for the 2 final outings.  



Moffett Race is in the works.  Don't put off registering.  You don't want a late fee charged and more work for your faithful race committee.  https://www.regattanetwork.com/event/29293#_home

All the best,
Roger.

HHSA: Results Sunday's race to Tarp.

Ahoy!  

     11 boats started out for Tarpaulin today in winds that were consistently over 15 knots with gusts in the 20's.  Maitland dropped out but the other 10 beat their way in some steep choppy waters as the favorable current slammed into the SouthWest winds.  The pursuit start, managed by Rawson on the Committee boat, came off without a hitch and winner was Artful Dodger.  That Tartan 3500 found the winds to her liking and the waves like butter.  Penelope and Tamu were second and third.  6 boats stayed for lunch and sailed back in winds that actually were a bit stronger with the current turned to again favor the sailors.  Here are the final results:

1 Artful Dodger
2 Penelope
3 Tamu
4 Silhouette
5 Joie de Vivre
6 Zebra
7 Sierra
8 Trinity
9 Gloria
10 Bandit
DNF Maitland

Here's a reminder to register for the Moffett Race coming up for Saturday, Sept. 6th  Enter by August 29th.   This will be the 48th running of the race and it still only costs $50.  


All the best,  Roger.

RE: Tarpaulin Cove Race 8-17-2025 pursuit start times.

Sadly, despite expectations and especially with a beautiful day of sailing in prospect, Julia Lee won't be sailing tomorrow.  Too tight a turn around after returning home yesterday evening after two weeks away.   Hope it's the race and rendezvous that we've hoped for over three attempts.

Ahoy!  

 

Here are the start times for each of the boats that might attend tomorrow's race.  Check the time carefully, it might be different from those posted for earlier possible dates.  If you are not on the list and intend to race, email me for a start time. 

 

Rawson will be on hand to establish the start line and police your start.  The finish is to pass within 35 feet of the Coast Guard mooring, either side.  Report which boats are ahead and behind in case there is some question and post your time of finish if possible by texting to my cell phone:  774-310-0024.  

 

The course length has been adjusted to account for the favorable current.  

 

Looks like the weather will provide a perfect day for the trip. Anchor, Raft up or tail off already anchored boats as desired.  Maybe we can all agree to leave at the same time for a second race back to Nun 6.   

 

All the best,  Roger
