SYWC Team Members Jesse Fielding, Scott Millard, and Alex Baittinger are at the Melges 32 East Coast Championship at American Yacht Club in Rye, NY this weekend. Jesse and Scott are on Ninkasi with legendary URI Sailing Coach Joey Mello and Alex is on Q. Should be some good practice in a very competitive 7 boat fleet.

Coming Soon To A Race Course Near You

Day 3 of Finals at URI. One of the best and worst times of the year. Everyone is stressed out and and mad about something, walking around campus like its "Dawn of the Dead" and they've all been bitten. Finals are arguably not fun for anyone but the end of finals means one thing for almost all of us on the team ..... Summer Sailing. Nothing could be better. This summer, members of the team will be scattered mostly across Narragansett Bay. We've got alot of great Regattas and Series that we're going to be involved in this summer and we'd love to get some more. Starting up in a week we have Jamestown YC PHRF on tuesday, Shields Fleet 9 on wednesday, and J24 Fleet 50 on thursday.

In Fleet 50 we were fortunate enough to have a J24 donated to us for the season. A HUGE Thank You to Kim and Scott Ferguson for giving us their boat, "Calculated Risk" for the season. Also, another HUGE thank you to North Sails for dontating a set of sails for us to use for the season. On April 30th we had a productive boat work day, knocking off last years barnacles and polishing it up. The boat was splashed on monday, and is now sitting on its mooring off Conanicut Yacht Club. May 14th can't come soon enough. Weekly Reports with Results to follow.....
