our crew on Chingona
a much calmer Nantucket sound en route back to Boston
Raced the 2025 MDW Figawi race from Hyannis to Nantucket on Chingona, a Jeanneau 37 out of Savin Hill YC
Friday, the delivery crew met in Onset (just past the canal through the Cape) to bring the boat to Hyannis. was a chilly day but turned out to be less rainy and more windy than expected, giving us a beautiful sail! spent the night in Hyannis, and woke up the next morning to head out to the race! On the way out, we officially christened the boat "Chingona". The race was windy and fast and fun, and we came in 4th out of 10 boats in our class (after the winners majorly barged at the start and we were nice enough not to protest them). Spend Sunday in Nantucket not sailing, before a mostly windless but very sunny delivery home to Boston Monday and Tuesday (but that jib went out for a few seconds - so it counts as "sailing"...)
