A fun turnout of seven boats, we could race normally without being focused on distancing as guidelines were relaxed today. Bob Boutilier was the big winner, but everyone had fun anyway.


Sunday series #1 was held on Sunday June 14, 2020 at Sullivan’s Pond.
We had a nice fleet but no wind, so the decision was made to abandon the Opening Regatta to Sunday June 21, 2020 to allow for a few more people to emerge from hibernation and have some wind.
Boots won the day by 1 point in some silly sailing conditions.


Our first recorded event of the season is the Thurday Soling 1M Series event #1. There will be a winner declared at seasons end based on the total results for the year.
Attendance will affect the overall scoring so try to make it out as much as possible.


In keeping with the ordinance of physical distancing, it is in the best interest of all our members and for our own personal safety that we abide by the rules and postpone getting together until the all-clear is given and we are safe to resume activities.
In the meantime, we can be hopeful that this will end soon and for now take some time to enjoy getting our boats prepared for fun-filled days ahead.
We will keep you updated on information as it becomes available and a new start date for the opening regatta.
Stay safe everyone!

Sullivan’s Pond is ice free! again, and likely to remain so now. The thankless task of setting the buoys can now get underway when the thankless task crew gets around to it.
Ben checked out the Cranberry Pond and sent some pictures, complete with on-site model.
