Re: HHSA: Sunday's Results 7/19

Hello to everyone- this was a great course to sail on a day that couldn’t have been more enjoyable.  It was an opportunity to have a day when the NW wind didn’t  fade to a drifter.

I’m still serious about the placard for the #7 on the Vig.  She and I go back to the days in the early 1960’s  when I came up through the JSP, and the old Vig became the “ new” Vig we see today.  Best- Rich Hehre

Ahoy Roger!

Today was a fantastic day of racing! We had a picture perfect day with a mild NW breeze that shifted more to the West around the start of the race. We ran Course 7 in reverse, which gave the fleet a couple of solid beat legs between the chops. Apologies again for the confusion with the course display! I didn’t have a 7 board and did my best to turn my 1 into a 7, but I completely understand why some of you were confused. Someone aboard Trinity IX told me to send the dimensions of our boards so he could fashion us a 7, so I’ll work on that for next time. We had one boat retire early- I believe Bliss said that they bumped into 23A if I heard correctly, so hoping all is okay there. 8 boats made it successfully around, and it was nice to see a couple of boats out for the first time at least in a while. Looking forward to seeing everyone again on Thursday! The results are as follows: 

       Elapsed Times:

1. Trinity IX - 3:54:08
2. Easy Rider - 3:56:25

HHSA: Results for Thursday, 7/16

Ahoy!

    Sorry for delay.  7 boats raced the triangle this afternoon in 20 knots of WSW wind with gusts to 30.  Fast race with close finish times made for the usual great HHSA competition.  Artful Dodger won the cup with Silhouette second and Tamu Third.  

Thanks to Charlie Felder for stepping to run the committee boat as the Vigilant was tending to the club's junior regatta. 

   Next race is Sunday, 2 PM. Forecast is promising clearing conditions with moderate wind.  

   All the best,  Roger.

Re: HHSA: Sunday's results ATTACHED

FInd results attached to this email, hopefully.  

Ahoy!

     10 boats sailed course #2 in a light Easterly breeze, maybe 7 knots.  The tide, a double high tide affair, was helpful at times but not at others.  The fleet split into two at the Can 23a at East Chop as some looked for help from the current in the sound, but if slow to get there, found the wind not enough to speed up the boats to make it around the can.  The last three boats struggled with two dropping out after 3 or 4 attempts and Artful Dodger, sticking it out and making the rounding and completing the course.  Apres won the race, this time on both elapsed time and corrected. 

    HHSA will have a pause in racing to allow the members to compete in the Sail Martha's VIneyard  "VIneyard Cup".  That regatta starts on Friday with a fleet race and finishes on Saturday with a pursuit start race.  The Vineyard Cup races are scored using the PHRF-NE ratings and allow spinnakers in some classes. 

   Next HHSA race will be Thursday evening, July 16th.  

Good luck to all in the VC racing.

Ahoy Roger!

Apologies for the delay in getting the results over to you! Certainly a frustrating day for some of the fleet, it seems. The wind disappearing on the last leg combined with the current made the second half of that race a bit of a slog for some boats. We ran Course 2, which we determined would be our best shot at getting a beat in with this strange Easterly we had this afternoon. Ten boats joined us on the line, with 8 making it around the full course. Appreciate everyone’s patience today, and we’ll hope for some better conditions for the next one! The results are as follows: 

1. Apres - 3:38:20
2. Zebra - 3:49:44
3. Bliss - 3:56:13
4. Maitland - 4:04:58

HHSA: Sunday's Results 6/28/26

Ahoy!   

    Ten boats started today's race around Course #1R in about 5 knots of ENE wind.  It seems there was no consensus as to when to take the one required tack eastward along the first leg to 23a at East Chop.  In fact, even after the results were in from the first time around, each boat found their own way the second time around.  Clearly there was a different wind out near the sound compared to up closer to harbor.  It was blowing pretty good for the second time around and boat speeds and lack of the 1/2 mile windward starting leg made it hard for the faster boats to overcome the ratings.   That said, the winner, Maitland, found her groove and shut everyone down decisively.  The weather predictors these days are in un-charted territory and so it is best to just get out on the water regardless rather than miss a day like today thinking there would be no wind.  

    Next race Thursday, July 2nd.  Short work has been made of June, so don't put it off any longer.  

    All the best,  Roger

Ahoy Roger!

We had an interesting day of racing today! We ran Course 1 in reverse, with our start set off of Buoy A sending the fleet first on somewhat of a beat out to East Chop. Winds were light out of the ENE at the start of the racing but picked up gradually throughout and the fleet was able to make it around the triangle twice in pretty good time. Despite the slightly marginal sailing conditions, it was nice to see everyone out on the water enjoying this beautiful afternoon. I had fun motoring around and breaking in Vig’s new engine to see the fleet up close around the course. Our results were as follows:

1. Zebra - 3:23:01
2. Bliss - 3:24:25
3. Maitland - 3:26:01
4. Campana - 3:26:58
5. Penelope - 3:28:47
6. Artful Dodger - 3:30:53
7. Silhouette - 3:31:28
8. Tamu - 3:31:35
9. Gloria - 3:36:27
10. Bufflehead - Retired

Thanks, and have a great rest of your weekend!
