THIS is so not going to be able to cruise up the mallard river…

Two new boats…

…ok, the first one is not that new:


WildWind VOJ-70

a few details:

  • huge genaker
  • canting keel
  • race wind

sails very nicely and fast, good for long distance racing, not so good for explorative cruising because it has a rather huge turning circle… I’d hate to take that monster up the mallard.

the other boat is the

Flying Fizz 3.0…

a few details:

  • no “sail by numbers” anymore, the first boat with actually working telltales in the sails
  • real heeling
  • tasks distributable to crew

this boat will make for interesting racing…

Wedding at sea…

Last saturday, there was a nice little ceremony at Union Passage:
Kirby Jameson and Sidney Sheldon got married on board of his Trudeau Tradewind…
Rick Wake of cobblestone vineyard fame was officiating, and as usual did a tremendous job on it.
