Looks like there will be good representation at Block Island. There are currently 165 boats registered to race including a new monster entry from Steve's alma matter Kings Point. Looks like the Kings Point Sailing Squadron is bringing a new boat for them: the Storm Trysail Transpac 65 named Vanquish. I can't even find pictures of Vanquish racing, so she must be very new.Once again, we will be on the Red course with all the big boats meaning that we will start last and that all the big boats will slalom through us like an obstacle course. It's lots of fun being on the same course as all the big guys, but it is a little humbling when you think you going fast down wind and a boat passes you going 20 knots!
We will be in the IRC 35 class and there will be some great competition again. Our old friends and fierce competitors on Lora Ann and Troubador will be out there as well as two X-35s and two J/35s including T-Bone from Annapolis.
I noticed that there is a Swan 42 with the name Apparition. Back off, buddy! We had the name first!
Check out the scratch sheets here.
