Sunday's pre-season outing.

Ahoy! 

    The scheduled Sunday preseason race has served its purpose...getting people to prepare their crafts for the coming racing summer season.  4 Boats did start the course #1 and 2 reported finish times.  There were equipment issues in two cases, nervousness of high winds, pressing household repairs and an apparent college reunion hangover which kept some who had planned to attend from making the outing or completing the course.  Hopefully all 8 early birds will resolve their issues in time for next Sunday.  Same 2 PM warning signal...watch for updates from Mo.  All are welcome and encouraged to get some practice in before the June 18th Tune-up race.

   Of the two reported finishers, Penelope, even though carrying her 15 sec/mile Jewett penalty for winning the 2022 award, beat Bliss by 1 minute and 46 seconds corrected.  Bliss was across the finish line 5 minutes ahead of Penelope. 

   Strong West/southwest winds which posted near 20 knots with knock down gusts and peaceful lulls presented the challenge on Sunday.  The course was #1 in the standard clockwise direction. 

All the Best,  Roger

HHSA announces 2023 season of sailboat racing fun!

Ahoy! 

    As we step into May, with a big Northeast blow forecast, it is hard not to be thinking about the coming

season of sailing.  Hopefully you have your boat well on it way towards a launch date as we will all be waiting to see you on the water.  The season starts with the tune up race on June 18th but there will be pre-season warm up races starting Memorial Day weekend. Watch for emailed notices and don't miss out.  I'm attaching the 2023 Racing Circular, Schedule and Ratings for our usual racers.  If you are not on the list, don't worry, we will have you covered...but let me know your intentions so I can find a good number for you.  The web site link is below as is the link to the place you pay up for the season.  Bucking the current inflation rates, our HHSA rate remains the same.  No where else will you get a full summer racing schedule for so little. 

   The Website will advise as to this year's plans but basically here they are:

   We will be racing as one division as last year.  Sundays and Thursdays races together will count towards season's awards.  Start time for Sunday races is being shifted to 2:00 PM in hopes of more wind and time for lunch before setting off. 

   We are hoping all will join in the EYC Round the Sound/Island racing, the Vineyard Cup and the Jewett Bowl all in practice for the end of season Moffett Race.

   Please ask if you have questions and let your sailing friends know that everyone is welcome to join the HHSA.

Ahoy! 

 

Congratulations to Wendell and Beck Colson winners of the 2022 Hugh Schwarz Post Season racing Series.

 

6 Races were counted and Silhouette made all 6.....greatly increasing his hopes to out score the other 8 boats that attended at least one post season race. 

 

The wind conditions followed the usual autumn patterns with either strong winds or very little while the temperatures reflected the recent effects of Global Warming.  No one was complaining about the conditions but there was clearly some uneasiness expressed about the trends. 

 

HHSA racers are now scattered across the Globe and with most of the boats hauled for the winter, time is called and we'll await 2023 and longer days for further competition. 

 

All the Best, 

 

Roger.

Ahoy! 

    5 boats came out to celebrate the end of the recent rainy days.  The NW wind was waiting and holding West enough to make the beat to Nun 4 almost, but not quite do-able on one tack.  The rest was just a joy ride for everyone...smooth waters, enough wind and the Ferry Boats were laid back, no honking.  Gloria held her own, winning the short race, which took 5 or 10 minutes less time than usual.  Summer weather continues, hat-less skippers wearing tee shirts! 

Could we get a group for Sunday?  Stay tuned. 

Roger.
