1966 BERMUDA RACE
The 1966 Bermuda Race was my first. The boat(“Gunievere” belonging to George Moffett, designed by Alan Guerney) on which I sailed is shown very briefly tied to the dock at Port O’ Call (now Bannister’s Wharf). We were never out of sight of our nearest competitor: Thor Ramsing’s “Solution”; finishing within a minute of one another.
I was working for John Nicholas Brown on his boat in Newport. He had given me the time off to do the race. I always considered that it was very generous of him because he did not use his own boat while I was away. I sailed another Bermuda race with “Guinevere” and a Transatlantic Race.
STAINLESS STEEL HARDWARE
New, unused stainless steel hardware. 390 “D” rings and 244 slide adjuster buckles. The “D” rings are $2.00/each and the Buckles are $ 2.50/each.
NO SOLAR ECLIPSE HERE
The Solar Eclipse was supposed to happen at sunrise. I laid out my gear; got up early and arrived at the spot I had chosen and waited for the sun. I never saw the sun that day as it was heavily overcast; however the high tide and an offshore storm coupled with an offshore breeze brought out all the surfers.
