Enjoying that early evening breeze. Flying Scotts heading downwind on the Great South Bay....

Sail On

Getting back to normal after hurricane hoopla. Boaters will need to watch for submerged surprises however with plenty of debris ( boards, fences, etc) just drifting in the current.

Sound Action

Racing on the Long Island Sound is always colorful. Life is Good! :-)

Catch The Breeze

An August evening, friends and a breeze over your shoulder....Life is Good!

The Race

Where everyone is a winner...Thursday night is Flying Scott races off Sayville, LI. These speedy 19 foot day sailers cause more than a twinge of nostalgia for me. Many youthful hours were spent hauling jib sheets aboard a Flying Scott with a rather low production number. (Mainsail numbers indicate the boats age by it's place in the production line).
