“PHRF New England’s a Bust...”

PHRF New England’s a Bust; A day sailing is always a better day than in the garden as they say. Saturday’s 1st race was challenging and a bunch of boats finished within seconds of each other which always makes for a fun and intense race. We ended up in third only seconds away from Scaramouch....   more details »

“Roach Coach 2nd in Class B...”

Roach Coach 2nd in Class B Harraseeket, 1st for Class C GMORA; Well, looks like we have a week off before the PHRF Maine’s. We could use the rest and some time to put the boat back together!

“3rd for Centerboard Regatta...”

Surprise, surprise! We ended up on the podium at 3rd place (out of the 6 boats that ended up racing). Not so bad considering where we could have been. It was a tough (slow) race to say the least, we made a few mistakes (skipper included) on board but it also felt like the wind gods were playing...   more details »

“Getting ready for 2007 (6-11-07)...”

Hello all; Roach Coach is in the water! I dropped it off on Monday and Bob K. asked me to back it up to the lift, bam, it was in! Not before he ran his fingers over the bottom and sarcastically (in a good way) said “wow, that’s rough”. He noticed! Saturday; I will be...   more details »

“Jeffa!”

Found this little tid-bit regarding Jeff Smith and “Second Chance” on http://www.cascobaysailing.com/. Your skipper raced with Jeff in the neighborhood of 6 years on a J-29 and the J-24 “Second Chance”. Glad to see he’s doing so well. Arriving at the committee boat at 1750 in the warm...   more details »
