We had a beautiful light air day to sail the first FBYC Offshore Fall race day aboard Battle Rhythm.
We were among the 7 boats in the PHRF-A fleet. The first two races were sailed in 7-10 knots.
By the time we got to the 3rd race the wind was 5-7 – enough to race, but not fast. The current helped everyone to a general recall and after we got a successful start the wind continued to drop and the RC wisely shortened the race at the first leward mark.

ILCA Racing on the Piankatank at Fishing Bay Yacht Club.
The 3rd Annual Rescue Regatta brought together 30 boats for a day of racing and fundraising off Stingray Point, all in support of the Middlesex County Volunteer Rescue Squad. With sunny skies and steady 7-9 knot winds, conditions were ideal for the pursuit-style race that began at the mouth of the Piankatank River.
I sailed aboard Battle Rhythm alongside Todd, April, David, Len, Dennis, Dwight, Case, Jen, and Heidi. We were among the last to start, with only one boat –Afterthought– beginning just behind us. Equipped with larger overlapping headsails, Afterthought overtook us early on the first leg.
Paddleboarding, Sunset Cruises & Fireworks July 4th weekend.
Twenty-four boats, including two Lasers, lined up under sunny skies and light winds for a distance race on the Piankatank this July 4th at Fishing Bay Yacht Club. With breeze holding steady around 5–6 knots from the NNE, the fleet saw a short postponement before starting under a single unified start. The course (#4) would take the fleet from Godfrey Bay – out around Stove Point and back. READ ON...
