The Announcement from Commodore Dom Messerli:
Hello Sea Sprite Sailors 🙂
I hope everyone is having a fantastic summer sailing our beautiful Sea Sprites in Narragansett Bay! This year has been very active with lots of Sea Sprites sailing in the harbor enjoying the historic boat and the views! Wednesday nights have also been a lot of fun with ten boats signed up and consistently five boats on the starting line and racing on the course. It is awesome that we have two women skippered boats, Scott Free from Herreshoff with Amie and Freya with Susie and one more coming very soon, Hope skippered by Emilia!
Registration for the annual Sea Sprite Regatta is now open so please follow the link below and sign up for this fun and gently competitive race held the afternoon of Saturday July 22nd with the first start planned at 1pm. Notice of Race (NOR) and Sailing Instructions (SI’s) can be found through the sign up link. As every year, we will have a standard upwind, downwind course planned. We already have two boats registered!
We will have a post race gathering with pizza, drinks and awards. This year we are introducing a new award, which will be the 2023 Sea Sprite regatta rookie award!
Please let either Bob Rude or myself know if you have any questions or need any help.
We look forward seeing you on the water!
Happy Sailing,
Dom
P.S.: Huge thank you to the Bristol Yacht Club for hosting the event and to Bob Rude, Bob McLaughlin, Roger Carney and Dave Guinther for all the support and running of the regatta! THAN YOU!
