Sail Newport's Friday Night Lights Series concluded with another great regatta. 4 races were completed in our trickiest conditions yet. We used the same course location as the last few weeks, right at the mouth of Newport Harbor, off Fort Adams' Volvo Docks. We ran two W4s and two W3s in moderate southerly wind. The breeze, was right of normal coming off the fort, and made for some large variability, keeping the RC and sailors on their toes.
Despite the tough conditions, it was great to see the great progress all teams made over the course of the series. The boathandling improved, the seamanship, and the racing got very tight as a result. Fewer collisions and fouling and the fun factor remained high throughout.
Thanks to a group effort by Prout, Middletown, and Narragansett for the after racing snacks and refreshments!
Thanks to Sail Newport for supporting!
Thanks to all who participated!
