110 Atlantics

FYI - I wanted to share the latest I have heard: Confirmation has just come in that there will be Atlantic's in Newport on August 8th & 9th.
The entrance fee for the two day event should be about $45 including hoist, storage, food.
This is Jazz Festival weekend at the Fort, so expect town to be busy. We have always been able to get in and out with boats easily despite that event. - Pete Cinq Mars

July 26 - Race Results

Looks like the Jumpin Jack Flash is going to be a 110 to reckon with. In her second debut with her new owner and captain, she took home one second and two firsts. One first place finish was after she crossed the line early, bumped into the Eagle, went back over the starting line and did a 360 then proceeded to chase down the fleet.
After the season is half over, the standings are:
1st - 245 Malihini 14 pts
2nd - 698 Red Witch 20 pts
3rd - 35 Nymph 24 pts
4th - 272 Eagle 47 pts.

Boats with not enough races:
240 Scoop 52 pts
545 Jumpin Jack Flash 13 pts
669 Red Baron 30 pts
507 Independence 33 pts
676 Yankee 11 pts

Weekly Race Results - 7-12-09

It looks like a three boat race this season. After the Nymph's great day yesterday, three boats are in the hunt for first place with only two points between them. With 10 races completed:
1st - Malihini 11 pts
2nd - Red Witch 12 pts
3rd - Nymph 13 pts
4th - Eagle 28 pts

Notes:

Eagle has to be the prettiest gal at the dance with her new paint job, she just shines.

We are looking forward to seeing Jumpin Jack Flash out next weekend, Yankee, Independence and Scoop, too. Where are Red Baron, Anna, can we help get them out on the course, if so reach out to one of the racers and we may have spares or can offer advice or help.

We are also aware of several boats that are "on the hard" and need TLC from owners interested in joining us on the water. Again, let us know, particularly Pete Cinq Mars and we can assit those who would like to join in the sailing of this classic boat.
