Newport and 420 Youth Championships

Just back from a whirlwind tour of ct. R.I. And MA. and a summer of 420 sailing capped off by a Second place in the U.S. Sailing  Youth Championships the best of the best in there respective classes , We are so proud  of J.P., dedication hard work and a true love of sailing , it's nice to see it all come together at the right time!

 motored up from Mystic to Newport about 5 hours including the ride out the Mystic river, a shake down cruise for the this classic  Hughes 38 S&S sloop, all went well, sailed in and up too the mooring at the NYYC, Harbor Court is amazing , that sloping lawn and and beautiful Architecture picture perfect !




Newport is a busy place and lots of tourists, I'm not that fond of that , but down on the water front and out in the boat looking at the mansions, and some of the great shops and food, it's all forgiven I look at all the special summer homes of the past and wonder to myself , how glorious it must have been in height of the gilded era........
