While most of the sailing world was on its toes waiting for the NY court to issue its decision regarding the America’s Cup feud, Hoss and I were out racing the Star on the Gulf Coast. Thunderstorms forced a one hour postponement this morning and then the wind died after we finished the first race […]
The Bitter End Yacht Club has announced the line up for skippers at the 2009 Pro Am Regatta, October 31 to November 7, which includes Ed Baird, Paul Cayard, Morgan Larson, Zach Railey, Ken Read, and Anna Tunnicliffe. The 23rd Annual Pro Am format provides the keen sailor an opportunity to crew for Olympic Medalists, […]
Another perfect day, 78 degrees, 10 knots of wind from the southeast. We did have a big cloud come over the course today and kill the wind for a while on the second windward leg but, I don’t think it shuffled the results too much. We were convinced about the right side of the course […]
Another perfect day: 80 degrees, 12-14 knots of wind, sunshine, short chop on Biscayne Bay. 70 Stars on the starting line. It doesn’t get better than this. Unfortunately, our score could have. We had a decent start but got out to the left of the first windward leg and the right was better once again. […]
It’s been almost seven months since I was in a Star boat. Given the last 3+ years of full time campaigning I was really crispy, tired and burned out….and wondered if I would ever hop back in the boat. Then I got the call. “Hoss, it’s Boss. We’re going sailing,” said Paul (Cayard). My first […]
It is still sunny and 80 degrees. The wind blew a bit harder today 8-12 knots from the Southeast. There was a general recall and then a black flag start. When the black flag is up, if you go over the start line early you are disqualified. This has the effect of backing people off […]
The weather hasn’t changed…still perfect. 80 degrees, sunny, light winds. We finished 8th today and are now lying 4th overall. Peter Bromby and Magnus Liljedahl are leading with two second places in races 2 and 3 and average points for race 1 which gives them another 2nd in that race. Most people are very inconsistent […]
Short story. We got 8th moved up to 4th overall. More Later.
Another beautiful day on Biscayne Bay. Sunny and 80 degrees with a light Southeasterly breeze. Plenty of sunburns for everyone. We had a decent result finishing 10th. It was huge recovery after a not-so-flash start and a 30th place at the first mark. After one general recall, the race committee hoisted the black flag for […]
The first thing to say is that the weather down here is perfect: 8-12 knots of wind from the Southeast and 80 degrees. It doesn’t get better than this anywhere. Sailing here at the 82nd edition of the Bacardi Cup marks my return to the Star Class after a four year absence. I am fortunate […]
