Adam Hayes identified an error in my entry of his finish time.  Trinity is today's winner!

Ahoy!  

11 boats started the Course #6 race today in a vigorous 18 knot SSW breeze.  The seas built up as the falling tides collided with the winds and the open boat Altius soon realized it was no where one wanted to be single-handedly as bailing was sure to be required.  An other small boat, Sandpiper, worked a ways upwind before deciding to call it off. 

9 finished in good time with the big heavy boats getting a chance to stretch their legs. TRINITY, David McDonough's C&C 37 won the cup.  HHSA welcomes Tristan Lodge and his Swan 42 to the roster.  His starting rating is based on his PHRF-NE numbers but will be adjusted after completing 5 races and again after racing 10 times with the HHSA fleet.

All the best,  Roger  

Phil Hale's report of the day in the H-12s follows. 

On a ten scale, today was a 20.  Absolutely gorgeous day. The wind was in the mid-teens with gusts to perhaps 25.  The H 12 loves a vigorous "blow" and the two H 12 entries had a wonderful sailing day as the wind whipped up, time and again, out of the southeast.  A special thanks to Charlie Felder and Tania Zouikin for passing up on the race themselves so that they could serve as Race Officers on the Felder power boat for both the Holmes Hole regular fleet and our H 12's.

 

Whirlwind completed the race for a victory while Providence retired with a broken boom, for which Halpert blamed his own poor judgement in leaning against the boom, as he stood up to enjoy the blow and take in full the spectacle.  A crisp blue sky, 8 to 10 larger Holmes Holers barreling off the starting line as they made their way to Nun #6 for their upwind start; a variety of 420 fleets from Edgartown, Nantucket and elsewhere competing in a VHYC youth regatta, curious power boats most everywhere, and a boat load of passengers aboard Island Home as it headed to the Ferry Terminal, all on board gawking at what would have been for many of them their first sight of Vineyard Haven. 

 

We can say with all objectivity, that Vineyard Haven Harbor, with its multiple facets, is the most beautiful one in all the world, and today the Herreshoff 12 1/2's were the two most beautiful boats out there!
