This event is canceled

~ Cancelled, James and I will be on Baltic 51, Wish us well. ~

The ultimate race for brushing up on your Strider boat handling skills is similar to the Vineyard Race but a tiny bit shorter and in colder weather. There are requirements for an off-shore safety at sea course. Everyone needs to take units 1-10 online, and we need 30%+1 of the crew to take the additional part 2.

This Friday race starts from Stamford, goes 186 miles (unless course shortened) around Block Island and back to Stamford without stopping. The race normally completes for J/109’s on Saturday afternoon. We will return to Huntington before sun-up on Sunday, clean up the boat in the afternoon and drive to the Stamford YC for a 5pm awards ceremony. 

Drafted January 5, 2022 based on experience from Vineyard race. Note first signal is 2pm rather than Noon as it was for Vineyard Race. Note, more time was allocated to get to course and more time to pick up Brusa in Stamford.

* _______ is the Event Captain 
* ?? look into Brusa transportation from Stamford with Bill or John
* Safety at Sea Class. We need a mix of people to complete US Sailing International OffShore Safety at Sea Part 1 Units 1-10. And 30%+1 of the crew to additionally complete Part 2 Units 11-15.
