Ranked 2nd on US Disabled Sailing Team
We competed in the Thomas R. Clagett Regatta in Newport this past week. The Clagett was the second event for the SKUD 18 and the top three placing US teams joined the US Disabled Sailing Team for 2006. Racing was held on Saturday and Sunday along with several training days before the weekend with US Disabled Sailing coach, Betsy Alison. The Clagett was by far the most competitive event we have sailed thus far. We practiced for five days leading up to the event and the hard work paid off. On Sunday, we finished in second place overall. Additionally, this earned us the second-place spot on the US Disabled Sailing Team. Below are our finishes for each race; there were a total of nine races. DNF (Did Not Finish) resulted from a mishap with our spinnaker halyard getting caught inside the mast.

2	2	[5/DNF]	2	1	2	2	1	3

Now that the Clagett is behind us, we will begin to prepare for the Newport International Boat Show held between September 14th and 17th. In addition to displaying our boat and promoting our team, we will be conducting an adaptive sailing seminar on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of the show. Please come and join us. Also, if you or your friends are golf enthusiasts, sign up for our golf tournament in September by going to Stars on Hingham Harbor or by downloading the registration form online. This is a fantastic opportunity to help us out and see the boat before it heads south for the winter. Our next competition will, again, be in Newport, Rhode Island in October. This is the last regatta in the Northeast for 2006. Full Story »
