159th New York Yacht Club Annual Regatta: Saturday

This morning we headed out for the first day of the New York Yacht Club 159th Annual Regatta. Heading out to the course it was amazing sailing past all of the bigger boats including the 12 meters on the way to the course.

We were sailing in area A which was just on the other side of the bridge in an area called Potter’s Cove. Our fleet included 10 other J/70’s. We got to sail one race in breeze before we started a 2nd one and abandoned it when the wind shut off.

A little light (air) reading:

An hour or more later the wind came out of the South and we got two more races in.

Following racing we headed over to the New York Yacht Club for cocktails and dinner.
