They blew off three at the last Twilight of the season, bringing to an unceremonious end Twilight Series 2 and lowering the curtain on our 2015 Twilight season. Our scorer spent the weekend getting a little R&R with his family and I didn’t have the heart to bother him. So we’ll get you the…
Join Fleet 5 for our traditional Labor Day Party graciously hosted by Sloan and Charlie Pendleton after racing on Saturday the 5th. The Fleet Bar has RSVP’d YES!
So let’s get straight to the bottom line. Congratulations to* Dave Nelson & Frank Hart *sailing with Frank’s son *Colin Hart*. These guys sailed such a beautifully consistent regatta, putting up just 31 points over 10 races. They finished with a line that included nine single digits, including two bullets. Their only double-digit finish was…

*Road To The Cup – Week 12* *Top-10 as of 8/9/15* Not a lot in the mailbag this week, other than a couple of emails expressing solidarity with last weeks rules rant.

Road To The Cup – Week 11 Top-10 as of 8/2/14 The dominant theme in the mailbag this week was rules and exoneration after committing a foul (nothing like a street brawl to get people digging for their rule books). I guess the issue is that we don’t seem to be spinning as much as…
*Road To The Cup – Week 10 – Extended Race Week Edition* *Top-10 as of 7/27/14* 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! These guys went completely over-the-top with prosecco, sangria, lanterns – I mean…
*Road To The Cup – Week 9* *Top-10 as of 7/19/15* A 2015 season-high seven boats showed up to do beer-can battle last Thursday on a beautiful evening in a dying sea breeze.
