We hope you all had a fun sailing season thus far!? For many of us, there are two key events still ahead of us, one is the last Wednesday night race this coming Wednesday and then of course the fun and exciting SeaSprite race around Hog Island on Saturday the 11th at 1:00pm.

This year, we will have an actual striating/finishing line with two large inflatable buoys just outside of the mooring field in Bristol Harbor. Big thank you to Bob Rude and Mark Rotsky from the Bristol Yacht Club. Additionally, the post race gathering will be held at the Bristol Yacht Club where the bar will be open for drinks and Pizzas will be provided for the hungry Sea Sprite sailors. Thank you Chris Healy for accommodating us at the club!

Also this year, we may have and welcome some Sea Sprites coming in from out of town, “Seeker” (Ian) from Edgewood Yacht Club with a 1969 Weekender and “Sailaway” (John) from Apponaug.

Please find attached the Notice of Race, the Sailing Instructions and a map showing the marks around the island.

Please send me an email to let me know if you will participate in the race or if you have any questions.

We look forward to a fun event and seeing you all on the water and at the social event after the race.

Dom Messerli and Bob Rude

Happy sailing!
