The US Olympic Trials finally went my way. My crew Phil Trinter and I had one of those weeks where everything seems to go your way. We like to think we earned it through our preparation. He is how we went about it. A year ago we won the Pre-Trials in Miami and won the […]
We finally got race 3 in today. We got out there at 10:00 for an 11:00 start. The wind was light and so we did not get started until about 15:00. We had a nice breeze at the start; 15 knots from 130 but that quickly dissipated. We did not have a great start but […]
It is getting ugly. No race today. Not even a start, not even a warning signal. NO WIND. Further, there has been controversy over the Dutch Team that won yesterdays race. First they were OCS.so out of the race. Then they protested and got back in. Then Bromby (BER) protested them, and the committee, as […]
Well, it didn’t get any better today. After a 2-hour delay waiting for the wind to settle down, we got under way around 16:00 in 6 knots of wind from 230. We had a very good start in the right hand side of the line and about three minutes into the race we tacked and […]

Well the first good thing is that today didn’t cost $5K. The next decent thing is that we finished 8th in a race that was not straightforward. The wind was from the northeast again today (that is from the land) and so it was very shifty and puffy. Leaving the harbor we had a gust […]
