NYYC Race Week 2022 – 5 Minutes of Sailporn
So many great memories of sailing in Newport, Narrangansett Bay and paties at Harbor Court. Miss it bigly 🙁
Read MoreOver the weekend, Alice (aka Mrs T) and I took part in the second part of the two-race Women At The Helm series at Raritan Yacht Club. The rule is a woman drives and the rest of the crew can be a mix of men and women.
We raced in non-spinnaker. We did the first race in July on a whim and won handily against the one other boat. Alice drove a good race crewed by a sailing buddy, David (who also coached Alice well) and yours truly.
Yesterday, although there was another boat entered in non-spinnaker, they started with the wrong fleet and were DSQ'd. We were the only boat to start, race and finish in non-spinnaker. In the words of Woody Allen
"Eighty percent of success is showing up"
It's unconfirmed, but I believe that Mrs T is the RYC Non-spinnaker Women At The Helm Champion. Given my own racing performance, it's good someone in our family is doing well on the race course.
