In other sailing news…

Jason, NYC

A one week old 45 foot catamaran  (Lagoon) went on the wrong side of the reef.   I feel sorry for the owner and hope this bad luck never strikes Two Fish.   Sobering reminder to pay attention at all times.

SAILING RECORD IS BROKEN

I was able to meet a sailing star, Giovani Soldini.  Giovani has an impressive offshore racing record.  I met him in NY before he and his crew raced from NY to San Francisco.   He successfully broke the record for the fastest trip in a monohull by 10 days.   It took them 47 days which is much faster than it took the old clipper ships that inspired this race.   Great job Giovani and Crew.

New Clubhouse

NEW MEGA CLUBHOUSE FOR MANHATTAN YC

The final sailing news is my club,  Manhattan Yacht Club, has decided to upgrade their onshore clubhouse.   And they really did an upgrade.   From a simple floating room to a mega yacht.   I am looking forward to a post race beer aboard the Arabella this summer before Two Fish splashes.
