Fun sailing 10/14

Gorgeous day at the cove on Thursday. Only 5 skippers came to play. Still, it was fun to sail in a brisk NW breeze with challenging chop (especially for a US 1 Meter). Rob’s IOM easily out sailed Paul’s US1M mostly because of the sea conditions. Boat speeds seemed equal, but the IOM out pointed the US1M and easily tacked while the US1M with its light weight and skinny hull had difficulty with tacking smoothly. IMPRESSIVE yacht Rob!


Thursday 10/14

Weather looks to be fabulous for our fun sailing. Some sailors will be at the cove as early as 10AM (Wilkie and Paul). Join us whenever you can and bring any boat you may prefer. Rob will have his IOM and Paul will have his US 1 Meter. Should be fun to see which of these boats competes better.

IOM vs US1M

Next Thursday (10/14), Rob and Paul will be at the cove racing fast 1 meter yachts. Rob will have his exotic IOM (International One Meter) and Paul will have his US1Meter. Bring any boat and join them. Their boats will start each race after all the other boats.
Might be the last sailing of the season. Let’s have one last fling before the buoys are pulled out.
