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.

HHSA: Results of 2026 Race To Tarpaulin Cove

Ahoy! 10 Boats set off, one at time, using the Pursuit start system that preloads the ratings by allowing the slower rated boats a head start. The scoring is determined by relative position at the finish line. All ten arrived in good order and 4 or 5 rafted together for lunch of Brats provided by Mike Powers and crew of the Artful Dodger. Julia Lee, the 20' wooden cat boat with the largest head start was un-catchable and she won the race. As listed below, the boats found the Coast Guard Mooring ball, and their positions were recorded. Some provided times and indications are that the results were close. Sorry to say, a weird ankle malady kept me from bringing along Gloria today and judging from the reports, it was a day not to be missed. Jerry Goodale sailed his cruiser, Sienna, to last place, but he was in high spirits as he reported to me that the day was probably the best weather and conditions to Tarp in years. Keep in mind, Jerry has sailed to Tarpaulin Cove more times than any living member of the HHSA....and that includes during his time serving as First Mate on the Shanondoah in the 60s and 70s...so he knows a little about the trip...and back.

I was reminiscing about the race course to Tarp being, possibly, the site of the first ever yacht race in America, maybe in 1933. A quick trip via AI into the records shows this is likely just another story, but, be that at it may, now there is long record of the HHSA races to Tarp over the years. I can tell you, there are many stories of groundings, fog and thunderstorms....even a twister in the VH harbor as the fleet returned one year....complete with a sunken boat, Elise, at the tip of the breakwater....people in the water swimming around the tip of the mast!

RESULTS:

Julia Lee 1 12:07:xx

Artful Dodger 2

Penelope 3

Trinity 4

Silhouette 5 12:14:27

Tamu 6

Bliss 7 12:15:42

Easy rider 8

Zebra 9

Sienna 10 12:17:24

I've received some pictures, which I will send along. Remember, anyone can email to this Googlegroup with their side of the story and there may even be no limit to the number of pictures...we'll find out.

Please Sign up for the Moffett. Forecast is for another perfect day of racing. https://holmeshole.org/

All the best, Roger.

Re: 2026 Tarpaulin Cove Race Start times

Lunch at Tarp?

Hi all, this is Diane a former and sometimes Holmes Holer. Although I have somewhat gone “dark side”, I still follow HH and I am planning to be in Tarpaulin Cove Sunday to greet the fleet. Weather permitting, of course.

My boat is a Monk 36 trawler, named “.calm” (dotCalm) and if you see you you are cordially invited to raft up

to me for a break and to eat your lunches. I am white with a dark blue Bimini.

Hope to see some of you soon!
