Rolex Maxi Worlds – Day 2
Star ClassRace day 2 got underway at 1300 after a 1.5 hour delay with seven knot Easterly wind.
Rolex Maxi Worlds – Day 1
Star ClassA beautiful day in Sardinia is very hard to beat. 15 knots of wind from the West made the first race day of this historic event picture perfect. I am sailing as tactician on Jim Swartz’s new STP 65 Moneypenny. The day’s single race was a 40 mile “Coastal Race” starting from Porto Cervo, sailing […]
US Olympic Trials – San Diego
Star ClassObviously, a great deal has been written about the battles at the top of each class during the US Olympic Trials last week. I had the pleasure of driving the coach boat for my son Danny and his crew Pike Harris at the 49er trials one day last week. The boys are 18 and 17 […]
Athens Training
Star ClassBoot Camp closed today. 21 days of sailing in 23 days. We are a bit tired. Four days off now…no sailing that is. I have to go for a short trip to Europe and Phil and Austin and Andy are packing up the boats so we can move into the venue on Sunday. Saturday is […]
Athens Training
Star ClassA great day today. Leg and shoulders today in the gym, breakfast and down to the boats by 12:00. Off the dock at 12:45 as we had no work to do before sailing! That is a first. The work list is getting smaller. We tested downwind for about 45 minutes, then upwind for the same […]
Athens Training
Star ClassGot up today and went and bought a new stove/oven. The second knob in as many nights broke off our stove last night and I had it with that thing. They have the equivalent of Home Depot here so I got a new stove for $250. Charged the owner of the apartment. Phil went for […]
Olympic Games ~ Final Report
Star ClassI am not going to spend time here analyzing what I could have done better. I do that every night in bed. I would just like to make a few observations and thank a few people. First, Phil and I are truly blessed to have had the opportunity to race in the Olympics and represent […]
Olympic Games Race Day
Star ClassA long tough day for us. Serious character testing stuff. Not much good to report. We got tangled up with the Spanish and the Irish as the start and got off the line behind. Then we worked the left, mostly because the right looked sickly light. The left looked good for about 5 minutes, then […]
Olympic Games Race Day
Star ClassToday, of course, would have been one of the best sailing days of the last two months. 18-25 knots of breeze from the southwest. Nice big waves. We checked over the boat and just relaxed today. Phil spent the afternoon with his family. I am watching the Olympic on TV between naps and eating everything […]
Olympic Games ~ Letters
Star ClassTough day for the USA. We got a 6th and an 8th while the French got a 3,1 and Canada got a 8,2. So we are 5.8 points out of third and 9 points out of 2nd. Torben Greal of Brazil clinched the gold medal with his 4th in the last race. Athens served up […]
