Well folks, it is that time of year again here in the North East where we kick off our New England Cup Series with our first event of the year. The Nor'Easter will be held May 5th and 6th at FT Adams State Park in Newport RI. For those who have joined us for this event in the past, you know what its like most of the time. Winds ranging in the 12-25kt range for the main course and waves and tide are dessert.
Last years event had winds out of the South at 18kts at 8am when we arrived which slowly faded to nearly nothing by mid afternoon. Sunday, the breeze had swung around to the NNE and began in the mid to high teens and ending in the mid 20's. Waves..yes. Current..yes. Surfing from the weather mark to the leeward mark in an EC12? Priceless. After sailing was finished on Sunday I had the chance to ask John Skerry how he liked his first EC12 Regatta. His comment..."I will be smiling for a week". So are YOU ready to experience one of the premier RC sailing venues in the EC12 Class? We have room...
NOR and Entry forms are now posted on the regatta page.
