420-A Sails Fast at VHYC Regatta

As they left on Sunday to tow the boats over to Vineyard Haven, the chopping conditions didn't interfere with the WDYC tow. As they arrived on the island, they rigged their boats and prepared for the two day SMSA regatta.

Early Monday morning, the wind was blowing but it was a breeze for our sailors. They had five races total the first day and during the fourth race, coach Mildred was thrilled as WDYC rounded the windward mark in 3rd, 4th and 5th.
Tuesday morning the light breeze resulted in a slow start. The race committee could only get 2 races off before the fog started rolling in and the breeze completely died. Even though it was light, we had some great finishes the last day. Awesome job race team!
A BIG thank you to Mr. Warner and Mr. and Mrs. Goggin for helping tow the boats over and transport the sailors and their gear. Another big thanks to Mrs. Daly, Mrs. Sullivan and Mrs. Warner for chaperoning the regatta.
The team will be practicing in Hyannis today in preparation for the three day Hyannis Yacht Club regatta. Good luck and sail fast!
