Hi all
It is with great humility and pride that I announce that Marionette won her class (C6, 12 boats, spinnakers) at the Off Soundings Club Spring Regatta (132 boats in 12 classes) raced out to, and off, Block Island June 13 and 14. A first on Friday, and a first on Saturday's around the island race, resulting in 1st overall. Light breezes 5-10 knots. Details eventually up somewhere on the website.

Marionette, #12
ps In the interest of full disclosure my 2 kids were aboard...

Congrats on the fine finish! No firsts for us yet this season, a few in the top three though. Looking forward to doing a singlehanded race next Sunday. Did a Wed. night race solo a couple weeks back, due to no crew, missed third by one second! Bummer. The crew was glad to have beat that finish the following week, just to prove I still needed them!
