Less than 2 Months

It's less than two months to the start of Block Island Race Week XXIII. In a press release that came out yesterday, they are reporting that there are 125 boats registered now and they are expecting 150 or more to be the final count. That’s over 1500 sailors!

It looks like there will be enough boats for one-design starts for NYYC Swan42s, J/122s, J/109s and the J/105s, Beneteau 36.7, Farr 30 and Farr 40 classes. Plus they will have classes for IRC and PHRF boats. Of course, we don't really know where Apparition will end up in the classes, but we usually race IRC at Block, so we'll be in there somewhere.

For those of you who want to keep up with all the videos, Rolex is working with T2Productions to have a broadcast of the day's events on-line each evening at 9pm. Let's hope they get a shot of us with sails full and our fingers out of our noses.
