Top-10 as of 8/1/16 As you know, there was no twilight racing Thursday night due to Race Week. Instead we were treated to Jennifer & Steve Uhl’s gracious hospitality – again! I’m not sure how many years in a row these guys have opened their home to us during Race Week, but as always,…
After several washouts, we finally got in a Twilight on Thursday night to launch Series 2. Here is the account from our man on the scene, John Casler. “Beautiful night with moderate air, but with lots of holes. Close to a dead downwind start, with the course out to the Archer Rock nun off Children’s,…
Top-10 as of 7/17/16 We lost yet another Twilight this week. This from our man on the scene, John Casler. “The forecast was for serious thunderstorms, but for later in the evening, and it looked toSteve Uhl, Walter Colsman and me that there was a window to get a race in in blustery but…
Road To The Cup – Week 7 Top-10 as of 7/10/16 We had an impressive turnout of 7-8 boats for Twilights on Thursday night, including Carl & Isabella Renny sailing on old partner Pete Kaznoski’s boat, and the unanticipated and thoroughly anticlimactic return to Twilights of Team Pandapas, who hadn’t made that scene for…
Road To The Cup – Week 6 Top-10 as of 7/3/16 I’d like to take a moment to remember Elise Caswell, who passed away unexpectedly last week. Elise was the free-est of free spirits and just a sweet, gentle soul. She and husband Steve Caswell were active fleet members through the 90s when they…
Top-10 as of 6/26/16 Before I get started, please note that NOOD Registration is open. You can register right now by clicking here. Four boats made it out for Twilights, to do beer-can battle in conditions that included 2-3 knots from the east with gusts to 15 from the south and alternatively gusts…
The Commodores’ Cup was held last Sunday under sunny skies and and absolutely smoking northwesterly that was solidly in the low 20s with gusts in the 30s. The breeze built throughout the regatta and the RC eventually called it after just one full round robin versus the intended format of a triple round robin with…
We’re saddened to learn of the passing of Dru Slattery’s mom. Our thoughts are with Dru and her family during this difficult time. The RC fired off three on Thursday night, in deference to the 25 knot northwesterly (with puffs to 30). I’m sure the Twilight regulars were pretty pissed off about that, right? …
Our first Twilight of the season was held Thursday night, and Steve Uhl was kind enough to provide this account. “Four boats showed up for a misty damp but solid southeasterly breeze Thursday night. The course was a reach to Fort Sewall then a nice long beat to Archer Rock and back – twice…
I’d like to pause to remember Tom King, who passed away unexpectedly on May 15th at the young age of 44 (Boston Globe obit here). Tom sailed with Steve Uhl for close to 10 years and was one of the nicest guys you’d ever meet. He started out without a lot of experience but just wanted to get involved…
