Twilight Racing
More great breeze for Twilight Racing. We took third against the modern boats, but mainly just had a fine time.

Concourse d'Elegance - Classic Rides
It was an amazing weekend on Long Island Sound. The forecast called for a teeny bit of wind and a larger bit of rain. Instead, we had two gloriously breezy days of sunny weather. The Classics were racing at Seawanhaka - congrats NELLIE! - while we headed to Larchmont YC for dinner with the NYYC Cruising Committee followed by an overnight on one of their moorings. It's the best night of sleep I've had in ages.
We slept in and then had a terrific sail across LIS and back to Greenwich by 2pm. We helped prep for the IHYC Member-Guest Regatta, picked up the hounds from the kennel and then headed back to IHYC for the quarterly Open House. It was a lot of fun, but also meant that we missed the Concourse d'Elegance, which is literally held within shooting distance of our dock.
Still, here are a few images of the wonderful cars presented and a link to their site:

Classic Yachting Enthusiast - New England Events
The latest issue of Bill Doyle's Classic Yachting Enthusiast has arrived and it is filled with regatta schedules, a restoration update on the beloved NY30 AMORITA and an announcement on the CRF rating requirements for any boats that wish to be rerated based on the size of their largest jib.
NB: NOR'EASTER has always sailed with far less than a 150 and we will be applying for a new rating. We think that every owner should consider the potential impact of this evolution in the ratings system. We also expect a stampede to Mr. Wick's mailbox.
