Spinnaker wanted
Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2025 9:36 am
Greetings,
My buddy and I chartered a 109 this spring and had a wild day Saturday on Narragansett Bay.
We did the Rhody Regatta which is usually a 'round the island race. It got a bit spicy, photo boat recorded 34 kts of wind at the south end of the island.
We saw a top speed of 22 kts surfing down a wind against current swell. Soon after the kite blew up. It was time for it to go. In a war of attrition, we wound up 1st in class and 2nd overall in PHRF.
We're looking to replace it with some a class legal spinnaker asap.
Thanks very much.
