Sailing aboard “Siren” a NY 32 designed by Olin Stephens; day one. 9:30 am skippers meeting, Ted Hood, Halsey Herreshoff, Gary Jobson, and a few others. The hope of wind expressed by all of the forecasts; out onto the water to wait. And wait we did, until 2:45; racing was abandoned for the day. The wait was an opportunity to look at the wonderful boats assembled for this regatta. “Elenora” the replica of the great Herreshoff schooner. “Ticonderoga”, and many other wonderful yachts lovingly restored.
Tomorrow, a sunny day with a brisk NW wind is forecast, providing this front moves through. We will race around Conanicut Island.
Ashore the exhibit at the Museum of Yachting was open; not to be missed.
