I went for a bicycle ride around Richmond today, including a quick tour of the boatyard at KKMI. Immediately upon entering the yard I came across Pegasus 55, one of Phillipe Kahn’s “old” race boats (which is for sale) and one of the BMW Oracle America’s Cup boats. I’m a total “boat nerd,” as I really like seeing these types of things.
Here are a couple shots of the aforementioned vessels:
Had a nice first sail of 2006 today with Maeve and Steve. There was a light breeze blowing so we put the sails up pretty soon after leaving the dock. It never filled in much, so we spent the afternoon in light air, sailing past Jack London Square and back, tacking close hauled both ways as the wind changed directions. The weather was warm, for this time of the year, and the sun was out. Not a bad way to start out the year in my opinion.
Hi folks. We’re basically on winter hiatus right now, since it has been cold and rainy. I suppose if enough people were hardcore enough to sail in the rain, we could plan a trip, but that tends to be somewhat unpopular. I happen to enjoy the downtime, as it gives me a chance to do some work on Amelia.
All that being said, if I see there is a nice forecast for an upcoming Saturday or Sunday, we may try to plan a trip. I’ll email the list if that is the case.
