Star Class Intro…

No gym today…the gym doesn’t open until 12:00 on sundays. We headed down to the boat at 0900 and rigged up our new mast. Mark and I measured everything carefully. It was a nice strong Meltemi today so we sailed with the old rig and left the dock at 11:00 with both boats and the […]

Great day today. Six hours on the water today looking at sails and racing with Bruni (ITA) and Neeleman (NED). Mark Reynolds showed up last night and he is here for 10 days to look at our sails and coach us a bit. Mark is the current Gold Medallist in the Star class so it […]

“We had a shocker” today as they would say in New Zealand. We did not even finish the second race. The wind was 0-4 knots from 060-100. Very spotty.some spots of complete calm. The race committee did not hesitate to run races in these conditions..no delaying. In the first race we had a great start, […]

We had a bad one today. Two bad ones. The wind was 6-10 knots from 330-360 today. Very streaky. In the first race we had a bad start and got farther back by going to the wrong side.the left. We made up a bit of ground during the race to finish 12th. In the second […]
