Coconut Grove Two races were held today in a postcard perfect Miami. 10-15 knots from the North and clear blue skies. The Walker Cup is in honor of Harry Walker, who served the star class as secretary for many years. The 43 competitors were competing to win the Walker Cup but also as a tune up […]
Coconut Grove Three races were held today on Biscayne Bay for the Star fleet. The Winter Series fleet has swollen to 40+ boats in anticipation of next weeks Bacardi Cup.

Photo by Marco Oquendo Coconut Grove Two races were held today today in 8-10 knots from the east-southeast. We had our ups and downs but basically Danny sailed very fast downwind and we made huge gains on the final runs of both races to finish 9 and 7. That was enough to move us up to 7th […]
Coxonut Grove Danny and I are back in the Grove for more Star Racing. This time the Schoonmaker Cup with 20 other teams. For this event, I am crewing for Danny. It has been fun to share the Star with him this past year and I hope he enjoys Star sailing for as many years […]

Coconut Grove The wind was late filling in today so we didn’t get the first race of the day started til 14:00. There is no other way to say it than the starting lines were horrible. Yet, the race committee put the black flag up! We haven’t had a race in this regatta without the […]
Coconit Grove Three races were held today on Biscayne Bay for the Stars. The winds were 6-10 knots from the South-Southwest. I made a cardinal mistake in race 1 and was over early with the black flag up. So we were instantly disqualified. I was kicking myself for the whole day. Sorry Magnus! John Max […]
Coconut Grove No wind, no race. Actually, we got 3/4’s of the way around the course in a northerly breeze that started at 4 knots and died to less than 1, when the race committee abandoned the race. It was good for Magnus and I as we were in about 12th place. 3 races are […]
