Small but Mighty PTSA Watmough Bay Weekend
The PTSA weekend overnight to Watmough Bay shaped up as a match race between the Alden 44 Puffin (Chris King accompanied by Matt, Xavier, and Helena Cooper ) and the 1930 39' Yawl Erin (Steve Chapin and Mike Kennedy). A 35' Wauqiez Pretorian Alente (Terry Spencer) joined a little later in the crossing from City Dock to Watmough Bay. The trio was accompanied by the motor cruiser Kailita (Bobbi and Roland Nikles, Jeff and Angela Brantley). David Burrows started the fleet at City Dock promptly at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. The wind was light, with high overcast and some fog. Helena Cooper [...]

PHRF Catspaw Series 2023– Final Standings – 3 Races Run
The fog from earlier in the day burned off to make for a nice evening sail. The course was city dock, Y, tower, I, B, and finish at city dock. The wind was fairly lite, which made it challenging for Martha, but the two Tbirds and the Ultimate 20 made it around the course in about two hours.

Dinghy Racing Begins!
The first evening of the new dinghy racing series got underway on Monday. Thirteen boats (plus the committee boat) participated to the enjoyment of all. Such a great turnout bodes well for this new class of boats racing on PT Bay. Many thanks to those who have worked to make it happen. Get that Laser out of the back yard or the garage and join in next week.
